Summary
Being in the French Resistance wasn't what Alice Klein envisioned her life looking like. She'd wanted a husband and a flat in Paris, and maybe a cat with a pink bow who would sleep on her piano. But bullets didn't discriminate between male or female, young or old. Alice knew that better than most. As a half-German, half-French Jew, it seemed no matter where she went, she was hated. To the German army or Vichy France, she was a traitor. To any uneducated Allied soldier, her last name screamed Nazi.
When the Maquis heard of the Allies looking for connections to the French Resistance, they'd quickly offered up Alice as a translator and liaison. Whisked away from the French Alps, she arrived in the States to train as a paratrooper, knowing that failure was not an option no matter how much she disliked it.
Lucky for her, she didn’t just find barracks and training grounds in America. She found men, and in them, family to replace the one she’d lost.
