About this title

Synopsis:

"An incredible story, beautifully written""A superb follow-up to William's Story"Book Two in the Amazon 5 Star Bestselling series. A young girl grows up in France at the turn of the twentieth century, in a time when life was simpler; sometimes harsh, but full of love and optimism for the future.In 1912 a chance meeting with a British boy, William Collins, offers her the exciting prospect of a new adventure, and the thrill of a first love. But their dreams are shattered with the advent of the Great War. Around her, the world turns to hate, and a brutality she must endure if she is to survive. This is the story of Odile Lefebvre and her private battle to survive the horrors of the war on the Western Front. She is forced, at the point of a bayonet, to descend into a world filled with horror and desperation. Her love for William, his fate unknown to her, her duty and love for her parents, drives her onward in a desperate struggle to survive. A chance to escape the war is offered to her, hope for her family to survive, a temptation willingly given. She must choose to gamble their lives against her love for William and his enduring love for her.No girl should have to make this choice.
