From the Valley We Rise
In 1944 France, Isabelle works with the Resistance and helps hide Jewish children while fear grows that someone inside the network may be betraying them. American chaplain Peter and young people caught in the fighting bring additional perspectives to the months leading toward Operation Dragoon. Their lives converge around choices in which protecting one person can endanger many others and faith must coexist with secrecy. This World War II historical novel combines resistance work, hidden children, wartime ministry, courage, and hope in the shadow of invasion.
