The sequel to The Summer of My German Soldier. I read this a long time ago after I had to read the Summer of My German Soldier over a summer for high school. I'm sure I recall it being a decent book. Here is the summary from the back of the book:

Graduating from Jerkinsville High School marks a new beginning for Patty Bergen. Its been a long time since shes been called a "jew Nazi lover", but before she can face her future, she must come to terms with her past. For although Anto, the escaped German POW whom Patty sheltered when she was twelve, has been dead for six years, her feelings for him will not die.
Driven by a need to find the love her parents denied her, Patty decides to go to Germany in search of Anton's mother, desperate for a connection to the man she loved and lost. En rout to her destination, she stops in Paris, where she meets Roger. The encounter makes Patty think twice about her plan --not only because of what she might find, but because of what she might leave behind...
