"In 1942, the Nazis came for a Jewish family living in Montparnasse, occupied Paris. In the chaos, the eleven-year-old daughter ran to the only person she could trust: her piano teacher Andree Levallois, secretly a French Resistance operative. Andree took her in, risking everything. But the authorities were closing in, and soon Andree and the girl were caught in a desperate race to stay alive. Andree was denounced, arrested, tortured and sent to the hell of Ravensbruck Women's Concentration Camp. There, she fought for her life, determined to return and honour her promise to save the girl who had been entrusted to her care. Epic in scope, and based on true-life people and events, Heather Morris has written a story of breathtaking beauty, at once gripping, heartbreaking and uplifting." -- Dust jacket
