Description

From the author of The Brighter the Light comes a haunting tale of hope that spans generations, intertwining the lives of three women who fight for survival in 1940s France and present-day Virginia.

At twenty-five, Ruby Nevins has already endured more than most. But after two years of battling cancer, shes warily determined to move forward. Researching a new project about a French actress, she soon uncovers an old diary that will change her life forever

Ccile, the it girl of early 1940s French cinema, vanished from Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942. Sylvia Rousseau, Cciles dressmaker and confidante, left that same year. Working to piece together the truth behind Cciles disappearance and Sylvias extraordinary life, Ruby recognizes the women as kindred spirits. They risked their hearts and lives to aid the Resistance, and each day was a struggle to survive.

Ruby knows her cancer could come back, but shes learning to embrace the future rather than fear it. If Ccile and Sylvia could live their lives in the shadow of death, so can Ruby. Because she knows theres so much lifeand loveto fight for.
