"High in the mountains in the South of France, eighteen-year-old Ceci Corvin believes her world is safe. She is wrong. In 1943, no one is safe. When a young couple moves into the flat above her parents' bakery, Ceci tries hard to carry on as normal, despite their obvious desperation and the red `J' stamped across their papers. But there is no such thing as normal now. It only takes a spark to awaken something inside of Ceci and falling in love with the wrong person can have serious consequences. Scandal, it would seem, can be more dangerous to a young woman than war. Fifty years later, Annie is looking for her long-lost grandmother. Armed with nothing more than a sheaf of papers, she travels from England to Paris in pursuit of the truth. But as she traces her grandmother's story, Annie uncovers something she wasn't expecting, something that changes everything she knew about her family - and everything she thought she knew about herself."--Provided by publisher.
