A Little Piece Of Heaven: Growing Up On Wake Island

The world was a different place in 1957. When seven boys were tossed together on a four-square-mile island in the Pacific Ocean, they would experience all the emotions that life could provide. Wake had been a battleground in the early days of World War II and the boys spent their free time exploring bunkers, trenches and pillboxes seeking souvenirs of days past. They grew up finding their first loves and watching them depart. Every day and night was a new adventure. They learned about themselves and their safe island home. Along the way they laughed and cried, learning about life sometimes the hard way. Join them as they grow into young teenagers and finally leave their little piece of heaven for a world far from the peace they had known on Wake Island.
