Overview

On a hot July day in 1918, along the banks of the Marne River in Northern France, an incredible tale of heroism, bravery, leadership, selflessness, and perseverance unfolds on a World War I battlefield. A squad of Doughboys is given the secret mission to infiltrate the German lines and gather intelligence before the Second Battle of the Marne. A mission so cloaked in secrecy that it was hidden for fifty years. That is, until a hot July day in 1968, when Patrick King, one of the soldiers on the mission who was blinded in the execution of it, reveals it in vivid detail to a reporter. With his wife, Pauline, by his side on their porch in Bald Knob, Arkansas, Patrick shares his story, which becomes much more than a reporter getting a story: a journey of healing for both him and the reporter, Gordon Grover, a World War II veteran. Travel back in time when stories were told on your grandparents' porch and when heroes sat right next to you.

A soldier's silence finally broken-War on the Porch is a haunting, heartfelt tribute to sacrifice, memory, and the promises we keep. Treasa Brock - Best Thriller Books ""Just like Travis's last book, 'One of Four, ' his latest WW I saga, 'War on the Porch, ' belongs in every junior and senior high school in the country. As the grandson of a WWI veteran, I'm proud to see someone with Travis Davis's knowledge of The Great War keep history alive for future generations through his historical fiction. Bravo!"" - F.X.
