OrangeReviewStarAmerican Claire Stewart quickly realizes her romantic notions of working for the French Resistance bear no resemblance to the reality of World War II. After rescuing five French Jewish children and smuggling them across the English Channel, she begs her estranged aunt, Lady Miranda Langford, to take in the refugees at her estate. Lady Miranda agrees, but only if Claire helps care for them. Claire's desire to return to France and a relationship she has there is at odds with her attraction to fellow American David Campbell, another boarder at the estate. Claire must stay if the children are to remain safe. But safety is an illusion and danger is closer than she realizes.
VERDICT Based on the author's own interviews with Holocaust survivors and the gentiles who risked their own lives to rescue them, Christy Award winner Gohlke's (Secrets She Kept) powerful historical novel features a suspenseful and heart-wrenching plot and unforgettable characters.
