Soaring Eagles reveals the trials and romance of seventeen-year-old Billy Cline, whose running family is persecuted for three generations in the Smoky mountain town of Rockside.
As a boy, Billy rescues an eaglet in a tornado and is hailed a hero as the "Eagle Boy." For years "Victory" soars mysteriously over Billy who trains to restore his father's lost honor.
