Paris, 1940: Bookstore owner Laurence slips out into the cold night to meet her resistance contact. The silence of the night is suddenly shattered by an Allied plane rushing overhead, its tail aflame. She must try to rescue the pilot. But straying from her mission isn’t part of the plan, and if she is discovered it won’t only be her life at risk… America, years later: when Jeanne uncovers a dusty old box in her father’s garage, her world as she knows it is turned upside down. She has inherited a bookstore in a tiny French village from a mysterious woman named Laurence. Travelling to France to search for answers about the woman her father has kept a secret for years, Jeanne finds the store in complete disrepair. Inside, she finds a tiny silver pendant hidden beneath the blackened, scorched floorboards. As Jeanne pieces together Laurence’s incredible story, she discovers a woman whose bravery knew no bounds.
