Book Description
===================
In the spirit of We Were the Lucky Ones and We Must Be Brave, a
heartbreaking World War II novel of one mother’s impossible choice,
and her search for her daughter against the odds.
As a Russian Jewish émigré to France, Vera’s wealth cannot protect her
or her four-year-old-daughter, Lucie, once the Nazis occupy the
country. After receiving notice that all foreigners must report to an
internment camp, Vera has just a few hours to make an impossible
choice: Does she subject Lucie to the horrid conditions of the camp,
or does she put her into hiding with her beloved and trusted
governess, safe until Vera can retrieve her? Believing the war will
end soon, Vera chooses to leave Lucie in safety. She cannot know that
she and her husband will have an opportunity to escape, to flee to
America. She cannot know that Lucie’s governess will have fled with
Lucie to family in rural France, too far to reach in time.
And so begins a heartbreaking journey and separation, a war and a
continent apart. Vera’s marriage will falter under the surreal sun of
California. Her ability to write—once her passion—will disappear. But
Vera’s love for Lucie, her faith that her daughter lives, will only
grow. As Vera’s determination to return to France and find Lucie
crystalizes, she meets Sasha, a man on his own search for meaning. She
is stronger with Sasha than she is alone. Together they will journey
to Lucie. They will find her fate.
