At her retirement home in Wedding Tree, Louisiana, 91 year-old Amelie O'Connor is in the habit of leaving her door open for friends. One day she receives an unexpected visitor - her late husband Jack's ex-fiance. Kat Morgan wants to know the truth behind a story that's haunted her whole life. Finding out how Amelie stole Jack's heart will - she thinks - finally bring her peace. As Amelie recalls the dark days of the Nazi occupation of Paris, The French War Bride reveals how history shapes the courses of our lives, for better or for worse.
