From the author of The Secret Society of Salzburg comes a powerful
and moving story of bravery and resilience in World War II Paris, and
one woman who must face impossible choices to survive...
Paris, 1940
German tanks rumble through the streets of Paris, forcing frightened
citizens to flee. But not everyone has the luxury to leave. Camille
Lacroix, a chambermaid at the world-famous Hôtel Ritz, must stay to
support her family back home in Brittany. Desperate to earn money,
Camille also acts as a lady's maid for longtime guest Vivian Miller, a
glamorous American widow--and a Nazi sympathizer.
Despite her distrust of the woman, Camille turns to Vivian when her
friend and fellow hotel maid Rachel Berman needs help getting out of
Paris. It's then that Camille discovers that Vivian is not what she
seems... The American has been using her wealth and connections to
secretly obtain travel papers for Jewish refugees.
While hiding Rachel in an underground bunker under a Nazi's nose, a
daring escape plan is hatched. But as the net grows tighter, and the
Germans more ruthless, Camille's courage will be tested to the
extreme...
"Renee Ryan is a brilliant storyteller."
