From the Valley We Rise

Summer 1944, Sisteron, France

After Isabelle Seauve’s father dies to protect her activities in the French Resistance, Isabelle is heartbroken yet even more determined to continue her work hiding Jewish children in and near the town of Sisteron, especially now that she knows there’s a traitor among the local resistance.

As the shadow of betrayal looms, Isabelle’s world collides with that of US Army Chaplain Peter Christensen, who carries the emotional scars of his service in North Africa as well as deep wounds from a tragedy in his first pastorate in Kentucky.

Amid the chaos, fifteen-year-old René Amblard narrowly escapes a devastating German attack that claims the lives of his mother and their fellow maquis fighters. With a Jewish orphan girl at his side, René seeks out his cousin Isabelle for refuge. As the bombs begin to fall, this unlikely group of heroes face the brutal reality of war as the Allied invasion of Provence unfolds.

Can they find freedom in their souls as they seek to rebuild what has been destroyed? Order now!
