New England, 1992. Sophie's hand trembles as she places the birthday card on to the creamy wood of her dresser - this one postmarked from far away, and signed with a name she's never forgotten, despite their years apart. Downstairs, guests wait around a colourful pile of gifts - Happy 90th Birthday, Sophie! But Sophie has a gift of her own to give today - a tattered collection of photographs she's never shown anybody. Holding it to her heart, a single tear slides down her wrinkled cheek.
France, 1944. Sophie is folding Camille into her arms, kissing her daughter's hair. She's smiling through tears at the plaintive cries of a tiny, perfect newborn baby - her first grandchild. As a midwife, she's helped so many take their first breath, but this is special. In the street outside, Nazi soldiers patrol day and night, and each week more people disappear. Sophie clenches her fist and vows she'll do anything to save Camille and her baby from that fate.
But when evil has stolen everything you know, even the truest promises are tested. Sophie swore she'd give her life for her family. How could everything have gone so terribly, heartbreakingly wrong?
A beautiful, heart-wrenching story of love, sacrifice, and the unyielding bonds of motherhood. Perfect for fans of Anna Stuart, Fiona Valpy and Kate Quinn.
