Walter Dean Myers’s stunning Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel, Fallen Angels, about the Vietnam War, was published in 1988. Twenty years later, Walter has written a riveting contemporary companion, Sunrise Over Fallujah, that again shows the devastating personal realities of war.
In Fallen Angels we met 17-year-old Richie Perry, a soldier in the Vietnam War. Now, in Sunrise Over Fallujah, set in 2003, Walter introduces us to Robin “Birdy” Perry, Richie’s nephew, a kid from Harlem, who comes face to face with war’s ugliest sides - and recounts this in letters to his Uncle Richie. Through Robin’s account, we begin to understand the realities behind the headlines - about the horror of war, and what war means to young people and their families.

“The Texas spirit of fun and hospitality lights up Paseo del Rio, the San Antonio Riverwalk. This travel destination shimmers with color and light. Along the left bank, two lines of café umbrellas—tropical red, Cancun blue, emerald green, lemon yellow—shelter outdoor diners and adorn the cobblestone walk. Above the rainbow rows of umbrellas, white lights strung between oak trees along the walking path glimmer softly in the dusk.
Miniature lights rim the eaves and roofs of the buildings behind the diners and illuminate the drape of the oak branches bending over them.
Diners can stay warm on cool, evenings with fajitas and margaritas as they watch the lights of the Riverwalk and the sunset glimmer upon the water. As they watch, a steady flow of trimmed boats putter to midstream from under the bridge on the right side of the river.
On this side of the river, the rock walls and the footbridge showcase the beauty of the area’s natural elements and earth tones. Lights trace the arch under the footbridge. Luminaries sit atop both sides of the bridge’s stone-grey railings. At the far side of the bridge, more luminaries light the path along the water’s edge.
People fill the path with laughter and conversation as they stroll beneath trees shimmering with countless lights. All along the river, this canopy of lights buffers the Riverwalk from the buildings rising in the distance. The lights, the good food, the water, the spectacle of color, the festive atmosphere provide a retreat—Texas style!”
