Publisher Description
A Photojournalist Risks Her Life to Save a Very Special Child
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
Journalist Nellie Wilkerson has spent the bulk of the war in London, photographing mothers standing in milk lines—and she’s bored. She jumps at the chance to go to France, where the Allied forces recently landed. There she enlists Jean-Paul Breslau of the French underground to take her to the frontlines. On the journey, they stumble upon a great tragedy, leaving a girl with special needs being orphaned.
Can Nellie and Jean-Paul see the child to a safe haven while being pursued by the Nazis, who are pressed by the advancing Allies and determined to destroy all they can before they flee?

If not us…..then who?
No matter what comes into our lives, God uses it in the best way for us. His ways and His plan are perfect.
1944 The job of a war correspondent was a dangerous one - one that Nellie Wilkerson was anxious to be part of. However, managing to get to the place of involvement took all the courage and compassion that she could find amid the brokenness of war. She learned that even if she helped only one person, she had changed one world. With all the death and destruction around her, was this a lesson that was worth learning? Could she bring hope to one or more?
Jean-Paul had been part of the resistance since the beginning of the war, sometimes wondering if he was making any difference at all. Managing to survive unimaginable conditions, how can he have the strength and fortitude to give hope to others?
The author takes us into the world of those that the invading army would consider less than perfect - a place where evil is heaped on evil. How much difference could possibly be made by several people with totally different goals in life? Will they be open to the mighty plans God has for them?
