In the spirit of We Were the Lucky Ones and We Must Be Brave, a heartbreaking World War II novel of one mothers impossible choice, and her search for her daughter against the odds. As a Russian Jewish émigré to France, Veras wealth cannot protect her or her four-year-old-daughter, Lucie, once the Nazis occupy the country. After receiving notice that all foreigners must report to an internment camp, Vera has just a few hours to make an impossible choice: Does she subject Lucie to the horrid conditions of the camp, or does she put her into hiding with her beloved and trusted governess, safe until Vera can retrieve her? Believing the war will end soon, Vera chooses to leave Lucie in safety. She cannot know that she and her husband will have an opportunity to escape, to flee to America. She cannot know that Lucies governess will have fled with Lucie to family in rural France, too far to reach in time. And so begins a heartbreaking journey and separation, a war and a continent apart. Veras marriage will falter under the surreal sun of California. Her ability to write--once her passion--will disappear. But Veras love for Lucie, her faith that her daughter lives, will only grow. As Veras determination to return to France and find Lucie crystalizes, she meets Sasha, a man on his own search for meaning. She is stronger with Sasha than she is alone. Together they will journey to Lucie. They will find her fate.
