Taking place during World War II, Somewhere in the Stars is the story of three young men from San Francisco—Nick Spataro, his cousin Paolo, and friend Nathan Fein—and their adventures as members of an American tank battalion chasing the Germans up the Italian peninsula, while Nick’s Sicilian dad is interned as an “enemy alien” back in the USA. Despite encountering prejudice both at home and during their tank training, the three show uncanny skill in outmaneuvering and destroying German tanks, until their own tank is blown up. Tragic events both on and off the battlefield, bravery, guilt in the loss of friends, romance, trauma, feelings of regret, daring rescues and eventual re-union with loved ones make for a powerful and explosive mix
