by Donna Bruno (Author)
During WWII when the German army descends upon an idyllic French village in the exuqisite Provencal countryside, three individuals are tested in ways they could never have anticipated... Madame Molineau (Grand-mere) and her grandchildren, Rene and Jeanne Marie, must summon their courage and wits to thwart their Nazi occupiers intent on locating and transporting Jews to camps as part of the "Final Solution." This is a suspenseful and intriguing tale of the bravery, selflessness, and steadfast resolve of reluctant heroes. It is also an examination of how deeply held secrets - no matter how well- intentioned - create a heavy burden, a sense of onerous guilt, extreme remorse and a compelling need for redemption and forgivenes. Many of the scenes in this book are based on actual events relayed by one who lived through them.
