Yette was a 20-year-old French woman working for the YMCA.Jake's commanding officer thought Jake had pluck, and he put him in harm's way. Jake just called it luck: The bad luck to get into a jam - the backseat of a biplane over Belleau Wood; over the top in the Argonne Forest; AWOL in Alsace to rescue Yette's younger sister - and the good luck to get himself out of it. But he never got over the girl.One hundred years after Jake came home from France, his great-nephew happened upon the tape recordings and a cache of letters from Yette, then traveled to France to piece together a love story with an ending that would surprise even Jake.Michael Kiefer is a long-time journalist and the author of Chasing the Panda; the novels Speaking English, The Lion Hunter, and Another Monk's Tale; and the travel books Into Umbria and Swiss Seasons.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/869/658/9798696589343_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.00", "online_price" : "17.00", "our_price" : "17.00", "club_price" : "17.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
