The Big Call is the story of Gordon Ashe, a young man who is drafted into the Canadian Forces in the early days of World War II. Ashe is a talented athlete and a natural leader, but he has no idea what he's getting himself into when he's ordered to join the war effort.
Ashe soon discovers that the war is not like the movies. There are no heroes, only men trying to survive in a brutal and chaotic world. Ashe must learn to fight and survive in the midst of enemy fire, and he must do it all while keeping his emotions in check.
The Big Call is a compelling story of courage, determination, and sacrifice. It is a story of hope, and it will captivate readers from the very first page.; 8vo; 184 pages.
