And ever since her husband was shot in cold blood, Brigitte Goldstein has known she is running out of time. She and her daughter Sophie are Jewish, so it won\u2019t be long until the Nazis bang on their door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But before she leaves, Brigitte must find her beloved husband\u2019s painting, which was seized by the Nazis. She desperately hopes that if she saves it from destruction, then a piece of him will live on forever. And perhaps one day her daughter will uncover her father\u2019s legacy, and the secret hidden inside\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working in a museum under a false identity is Brigitte\u2019s only hope. Until she meets Isabelle Valette, who confides in hushed tones that she is part of the Resistance. And when her new friend tells her of a train leaving Paris that can take children to safety, Brigitte knows her daughter must be on it, even if it breaks her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But getting Sophie onto the train is dangerous. If they are caught smuggling a Jewish child out of Paris, they will be killed. And with the enemy closing in, can Brigitte get her beloved daughter to safety before it is too late?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first utterly gripping novel in the Paris Sisters series, this is the story of two brave women and a secret that will tie them together forever, as the Second World War rages around them. Perfect for fans of Roberta Kagan, Kristin Hannah, and Fiona Valpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goshen Public Library call number: <\/strong> F KELMAN (PBK) PARIS SISTERS BK. 1 (BOOK)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Suzanne Kelman Year of Publication:\u00a0 2024 A summary from Goodreads: \u201cNo, Mama, please don\u2019t make me leave!\u201d Sophie cries, clutching her teddy bear as her blue eyes fill with tears. \u201cI\u2019d rather be here in Paris with you, than far away somewhere safe\u2026\u201d Paris, 1940: All over Paris, families are being pulled from their […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[18],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2978"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2978"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2980,"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2978\/revisions\/2980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goshenpublib.org\/spotlight\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
