1940. After the tragic death of her parents, Linda Rossiter decides to drop out of college and join her sister, Eleanor, and her small family in Paris. Shortly after her arrival, however, Germany invades, and the reality of World War II sets in. Eleanor's husband, Andre, disappears after fighting in Dunkirk, and Linda feels obligated to remain with Eleanor and her son.
Desperate for news about Andre, Eleanor regularly visits local hospitals for the Red Cross. One day, however, Linda takes her place and winds up sneaking home a wounded British airman. Soon the Linda and Eleanour are risking their lives to help Allied soldiers escape occupied France, but their good deeds may come at a hefty price. On Christmas Eve, the Gestapo sets up a trap, and death is only a few steps the two courageous sisters.
Carolyn Hart's riveting and realistic portrayal of German occupied Paris keeps the suspense high. Set just before Germany declared war on America and just as the French Resistance started to emerge, Escape from Paris is a compelling page-turner. --Robin Burcell, bestselling author of The Black List
Authentic and gripping and heartbreaking. . . . [A] tensely taut tale of World War II courage, sacrifice, and love. --Hank Phillippi Ryan, author of The Other Woman and winner of the Anthony, Agatha, and Macavity Awards
