Traumatized by horrors witnessed during the Nazi invasion of France, a young woman retreats to the dense Breton woods where she becomes a member of the clandestine French Resistance. When she finds a critically injured American paratrooper whose plane was shot down, she shelters the wounded soldier in her secluded cottage, determined to heal him despite the enormous risk. Ostracized by villagers who have labeled her a witch, she is betrayed by an informant who reports to the Butcher-the monstrous leader of the local paramilitary organization that collaborates with the Germans. As the enemy closes in, she must elude the Gestapo while helping the Resistance reunite the American with his regiment and join the Allied Forces in the Battle of Brittany. Can true love triumph against all odds under the oppressive Third Reich?
Between The Pages
Fans of history will thoroughly enjoy this story. The author spins a fictional tale that portrays the realism of something that might have taken place. The characters are well-written, and the scenes are vivid. Some readers should take caution of details from a graphic torture scene, but it shows the horrendous cruelty that took place. The author did a wonderful of telling the story of two people finding love during a time filled with conflict and war.
