Wild Hands Toward the Sky
by Ray Elliott
A coming-of-age story of the time during and after World War II, “Wild
Hands Toward the Sky” introduces young, fatherless John Walter McElligott
as he grows up — lonesome and longing — in a rural Illinois farm community.
He and his mother now live with his aunt and uncle, but he is inescapably drawn
to the other men of the area who served in the war and returned — especially
his older cousin, Sam, who was injured during the D-Day invasion and fought on
through Europe until the end of the war. Out of their own respect for John Walter's
father, who was killed on Guadalcanal, these veterans treat the boy with a calculated
deference and are compelled to teach him their hard-earned lessons about life,
responsibility, duty and honor. John Walter tries to apply their lessons to his
own life as he struggles to find his place and learn who he is destined to become
amid the sheltered, quiet life of the rural Midwest that, too, is on the brink
of change in the aftermath of the war.
