Resumen del Editor

How far will they go for family, friendship, and love?

Occupied France, 1940. When the staff at a field hospital draw straws to find out who will join the evacuation from Dunkirk, Nurse Cate is left behind. But when the Nazis arrive to claim prisoners of war, she takes her chance and flees into the night, taking one patient with her.

Fifty miles away, the surrendering soldiers of the Royal Norfolk Regiment are shot dead by the advancing Germans. Beneath the pile of bodies two men survive, crawling to the safety of a nearby farmhouse, where sisters Elise and Adelaide risk their lives to take them in. When Cate, too, arrives at their door with her injured soldier, the pressure mounts.

The sisters are risking everything to keep their visitors safe. But with the Nazis coming ever closer and relationships in the farmhouse intensifying, they must all question the sacrifices they are willing to make for the lives of others. How far will they go for family, friendship, and love?

Good story except for a few glitches

It was difficult to envision what is happening while listening to a story. Although the author described the characters thoroughly, the landscape was left to the listener's imagination. It would have really added to the whole listening (or reading) experience if the author described the setting better. Other than that, it was a good story and I wanted to continue to listen from beginning to end.

Wonderfully written story & great narrating.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was so well written, I would forget where I was, and be there in France with the War going on around me! And the characters were my friends & family or enemies.

Felt like I was on the time zone

nice flow with the story. could picture being there and all the action. wonderful book I say everyone should read it

Breathtakingly Beautiful While Tragic

I loved this story in spite of the tears I shed while reading of yet another tragedy of World War Two. The characters were marvelously developed, the plot believable and the ending dramatic and gripping. I recommend it to all who wish to understand what the French and British suffered during the war and why we must always protect our European Allie’s and our fellow Americans from another war. In addition reading Ms. Lane’s book encouraged me to continue my Novel of the same period but taking place in an entirely different place and just before the start when Hitler invaded Poland. Watch for it this coming Spring, 2022. Sherdavidson.com

Gripping Tale if WWII

This was a very interesting presentation of possible & true scenarios. It was hard to stop listening when I needed to take a break. Very intense story - nerve-racking but uplifting also.

Great Book!

I loved this book. I couldn’t wait to keep listening. Finally a book that had an ending that did not disappoint.

Excellent!

This story kept my attention throughout its telling. I couldn’t wait to get back to it time and again. If you love historical fiction, this is a must.

A beautiful written story based on true facts
