Return to the Nest

In Book Three of The Eagle and the Child trilogy, Shai struggles to balance Judaism with the secular life. He runs into trouble with the law and sheds his kippah for the woman of his dreams. The secret to Phillip's volatile temper is unlocked, and the family's peace is threatened by a reporter with a hidden agenda who researches his way very close to the truth about Shah. Samuel still struggles with the second-generation culture war within and his tendency toward violence. Rahm turns out to be the keeper of Shahla's family secret, a secret so well-hidden that The Institute even missed it. These keys bring redemption and return to the fractured family. Each has been transformed by living under the shadow of the Eagle, but resolution for each comes from a common place: the silent, yet watchful and overshadowing presence of Shahla's faith in each of their lives.
