As the date of her marriage to a ruthless man draws closer, she only has one choice: she must run. <p/> Adèle flees to Lyon and seeks refuge at the Sisters of Notre Dame de la Compassion. From the outside this is a simple nunnery, but the sisters are secretly aiding the French Resistance, hiding and supplying the fighters with weapons. Adèle quickly finds herself part of the efforts to take down the regime. <p/> As each day fills with a different danger and she begins to fall for another man, Adèle's entire world could come crashing down around her. She must fight for her family, her country - and her own destiny.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'A compelling and powerful read' Gill Thompson, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>The Child on Platform One</i></p><p>'A powerful and thoughtful novel' Louise Fein, author of <i>Daughter of the Reich</i></p><p>'A gripping tale of wartime sacrifice and innocence lost ... in the cause of freedom' Jina Bacarr, author of <i>Her Lost Love</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Andie Newton</b> is an American writer living in Washington State with her husband and two boys. She writes female-driven historical fiction set in World War Two. <i>The Girl I Left Behind</i> was her debut novel and <i>The Girl From Vichy</i> is a <i>USA Today</i> bestseller. <p/> She would love to say she spends her free time gardening and cooking, but she's killed everything she's ever planted and set off more fire alarms than she cares to admit. Andie does, however, love spending time with her family, ultra trail running, and drinking copious amounts of coffee.
