Description

Gaelle de Barbet's life was forever changed in 1940 when the German army occupied France. Her father and brother were killed, her mother descended into madness, and her closest friend, Rebekah Feldmann, was sent to a detention camp. Taking terrifying risks, Gaelle joined the Resistance, delivering Jewish children to safety despite the Gestapo's watchful eyes. As the war drew to a close, she executed a plan to save France's art treasures, but was falsely accused of collaboration and forced to flee. This traumatic experience left its mark, shaping her future in ways both unexpected and profound. Years later, Gaelle began a new life in Paris, eventually finding love and building a family in New York. Yet the ghosts of her past continued to haunt her, until her granddaughter, a respected journalist, embarked on a journey to uncover the truth about her grandmother's wartime heroism.
