Publisher Description
A deep bond of love severed. An impossible decision. Will she break a powerful promise to find her way back to happiness?
The Pyrénées, France, 1939. Twenty-year-old Sylvie Laget has found the one she wants to be with forever. With war looming, she pledges her heart to a young man on a neighboring farm and rebels against her religious upbringing by consummating their relationship. But when her lover leaves to fight the Nazis, her joy is shattered by heartache.
Burying her pain by posing as a nun to work with the resistance (the Maquis) and help Allied forces, Sylvie is devastated by news of her beloved’s death. Grief drives her to take her vows in earnest, but when a tragic miscommunication shatters her universe, she must decide where her faith truly lies …
Will her country’s bloody battle destroy Sylvie’s spirit, or will her unexpected path lead to the future she craves?
