Amazon Five Star Review
The year is 1944. Paris has been under German occupation for four years. The French Resistance knows that an Allied invasion is imminent.
Veronique Grenelle is growing up in an impoverished inner-city neighborhood, scrambling to feed herself and her family.
The Resistance recruits the vivacious young woman to befriend Lieutenant Gunther von Clause, an aide-de-camp to the German Army’s Military Governor. She gradually gains his trust and affection.
James Gallagher, a lieutenant in the US Army’s Military Intelligence unit, frequently parachutes behind enemy lines to deliver funds and instructions to the Resistance. He meets and befriends Veronique, who falls madly in love with the dashing American officer.
D-Day approaches, and Veronique finds herself in a bind; should she pursue her heart or her duty? In the end, her decision will not only determine the fate of Paris, it will reverberate down through her family for generations to come.
