Author Talk: Elizabeth Musser

From the award-winning, best-selling author of The Swan House comes a meticulously researched novel that brings to life the courage and faith of those who risked everything to protect the innocent during humanity's darkest hours.

In the heart of Southern France, Isabelle Seauve's commitment to the Resistance is tested beyond measure after her father sacrifices his life to protect her involvement in hiding Jewish children. When she discovers a traitor within the Resistance ranks, her already perilous mission becomes even more dangerous. Her path crosses with US Army Chaplain Peter Christensen, who carries his own emotional scars from service in North Africa. Together, they must navigate the brutal realities of war and their growing feelings for each other.

Meanwhile, fifteen-year-old René Amblard barely escapes a devastating German attack that claims his mother's life. With a Jewish orphan girl at his side, he seeks refuge with his cousin Isabelle. As bombs fall around them, this unlikely group must first find freedom in their souls before they can rebuild what has been destroyed.
