Book
Northern France, 1915. When his aircraft crashes in Northern France, British airman Henry finds himself stranded behind enemy lines. His survival depends on the courage and compassion of a local family who risk everything by hiding him in their farmhouse. With her village already suffering under Occupation, Marie knows sheltering Henry will put her in family in grave danger, and that peril only increases when two German officers are unexpectedly billeted with them. Forced to live cheek by jowl with their occupiers, it takes all their cunning to keep their deadly secret. As the shadow of war spreads, loves blooms, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. But before long love is put to the test as everyone's loyalty is called into question. The ramifications of the choices they must now make will be felt long after the war is over.
