About this listen

1944.

Nineteen-year-old Hedy can't bear her country's neutrality in the face of the ultimate evil. This is not the Switzerland she loves, and she realises she cannot stand by without acting any longer. She joins a group smuggling Jewish children through the forest from France to refugee camps in Geneva. It's dangerous work—there are German patrols everywhere—but finally Hedy feels she is doing something worthwhile.

Then one night in the forest she stumbles across a wounded American airman. Second Lieutenant Samuel Reardon was dropping supplies to the French resistance when his plane crashed. Despite the danger it will bring to her family, Hedy can't leave Samuel lost and injured, so she hides him in her father's hut.

As Hedy and Samuel grow closer, so the dangers of their resistance work loom ever closer, and soon the pair must make the ultimate choice that will tear them apart.

2015.

Nineteen-year-old Gina looks at her grandmother's papery hands and wonders how much time they have left together. Since her mother died, Mamie Hedy is all she has left. But then her grandmother reveals a shocking secret that takes them back to her home in the Swiss mountains, looking for answers that time never forgot.

A stunningly beautiful and heartfelt WWII novel about the power of love, family, and learning from our mistakes for future generations.

What a beautiful and inspiring story! Gina absolutely stole my heart. It touched me how she kept her mother close to her heart and ultimately in her thoughts. I also admired Hedy’s strength and resilience. She chose to make a difference and nothing would break her determination. And when she loved, she loved for always. I’m thrilled that I read this special book and I highly recommend it to all historical fiction lovers!

Inspiring!
