Two Americans in Paris become fast friends when they meet in 1939, but as the shadow of war creeps across Europe and reaches France, they are forced to make dangerous decisions that will test their bond.  Elise must flee the Nazis, leaving her daughter in Juliette’s care.  But when she returns at the war’s end, Juliette’s home is in rubble and the family is nowhere to be found.  Can the effects of the Holocaust that tore the two families to pieces let them heal and be whole once again?

The discussion will be led by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence at the HMTC.
