In the Shadows of the Sun – Alexander Parsons

• New Mexico: The family faces the loss of their ranch and home when the U.S. government expands a bombing range into their land following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
• The Philippines: Their son, Jack, is caught in the Pacific Theater, enduring the Bataan Death March and subsequent Japanese prison camps.

The story explores themes of sacrifice, family bonds, and the personal tragedies of war, culminating in the era of the atomic bomb.
