Blurb 

Three generations of women. One dark family secret. A truth that time never forgot . . .

1944. As darkness descends over Europe, nineteen-year-old Hedy chooses hope in the face of the ultimate evil that grips the continent and stalks the streets of her quiet Swiss hometown.

One night in the dark forest, with only the moonlight to guide her, Hedy stumbles across a wounded American airman. Second Lieutenant Samuel Reardon was dropping supplies to the French resistance when his plane crashed. Despite the grave danger it will bring to her family to harbour an Allied soldier, Hedy can’t leave Samuel injured and alone, so she hides him in her father’s mountain hut.

Hedy risks everything to care for Samuel in secret, and as burgeoning feelings grow between them, the danger of their resistance work becomes ever more deadly. And soon they will be faced with the ultimate choice that will tear them apart . . .

2018, America. Nineteen-year-old Gina looks at her grandmother’s hands that tell the story of her whole life and wonders how much time they have left together. Since her mother died, Mamie Hedy is all Gina has left. But then her grandmother reveals a shocking secret that takes them back to her home in the Swiss mountains for the last time.

After all these years, can Gina and her grandmother find the key to unlock the secrets of their shared past?

A heartfelt and heartbreakingly beautiful WWII story set against the backdrop of wartime Switzerland, perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Amanda Lees and Marius Gabriel.

TW: sexual violence.
