She is shocked and powerless when French gendarmes take away her closest friend, Rebekah Feldmann, and her family, and send them to a detention camp for deportation to an unknown, ominous fate. The local German military commandant makes Gaëlle family estate outside Lyon into his headquarters. Her father and brother are killed by the Germans; her mother fades away into madness and ill health. Trusted friends and employees become traitors. And by accident, Gaëlle begins a perilous journey with the French Resistance, hoping to save lives to make up for the beloved friend she could do nothing to help. Taking terrifying risks, Gaëlle becomes a valuable member of the Resistance, fearlessly delivering Jewish children to safety underneath the eyes of the Gestapo and their French collaborators. Then she is suddenly approached by the German commandant with an astonishing and dangerous plan to save part of France's artistic heritage as the Germans withdraw. And once again, her life is on the line. Conducted in secret, flawlessly carried out, her missions for the Resistance change her life and mark her for years. She is falsely accused of collaboration at the end of the war, and flees Lyon in disgrace, orphaned and alone. She goes to Paris to put the war behind her and begin a new life, with the ghosts of the past always close at hand. Gaëlle's life will take her from Paris to New York, from a career as a Dior model to marriage and motherhood, unbearable loss, and mature, lasting love. She returns to Paris to run a small museum, honoring victims of the Holocaust. She has never sought recognition for her courage during the war years she can never forget. Her label as a collaborator remains, until her granddaughter, a respected political journalist, is determined that past wrongs finally be made right, and her grandmother's brave acts be recognized. Now a grateful nation will finally acknowledge this remarkable woman. At last, she is absolved and honored as the war hero she was"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked out 05/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked out 04/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked out 04/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Fiction Steel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
