There’s little doubt that the Nazis intend to invade France and reclaim the area, so when Genevieve impulsively decides not to go back to New York, she soon finds life in the village far more challenging than the work she did on the farm during the summer. As the war drags on, Genevieve discovers that many of her neighbors have secrets, and she must decide who can be trusted and who is the enemy. When a Nazi officer moves into the farmhouse, Genevieve and Mémé are in constant danger, but that doesn’t prevent Genevieve from helping to hide her friend who is part of the resistance movement. Will hiding her friend cost Genevieve her life? (Prepared by: BT Bouton, Camp Road Middle School, betty_bouton@charleston.k12.sc.us for South Carolina Book Award)
