“Wild Hands Toward the Sky” was Elliott’s first novel and is set during and after World War II in the rural Midwest. A young boy whose father has been killed in the war is drawn to the other men around his home who returned from battle. Through spending time and talking with them, as well as his stoic-but-kind uncle who was pressured to remain working on the homefront to support the war effort, he learns their hard-earned lessons about life, responsibility, duty and honor.
