The Repair

Northern France, winter 1917. A German pilot falls from the sky and crashes into a small French farm.He stops a horror inside the house. By morning, the family owes him a life.Mathilde puts it in her journal. Her father calls it a debt. Her mother calls it madness.The pilot is Ernst-an ace with blood on his hands and no way home. His engine is ruined. Soldiers are closing in. If the family repairs his plane, he flies again. If he flies again, someone dies. Maybe the man Mathilde loves.Snow piles up. Tools hit the table. Every bolt turned is a choice. The farm becomes a workshop, a sickroom, and a reckoning. Mercy meets fear. Honor costs more than anyone expected.The sky waits.The Repair is the second book in the Prayers in the Air series-lean, breath-holding literary fiction about debt, mercy, and the price of a soul. It reads well on its own.
