Abstract:
Don’t Cry, Cherie concerns a wounded soldier presumed dead at the battle of the Huertgen Forest, Germany, December, 1944.While being buried, he quietly moaned and his discoverers attempted to revive him but found him unresponsive mumbling in German. An American soldier speaking German! Was he a German spy infiltrated into the American lines? Having amnesia from his head wound, and unable to respond to interrogation, the question remained. Intense psychotherapy by Army physicians and the discovery of an old love, Genevieve, a former British Air Force corporal, unravels the truth.
