While Paris Slept

I would first like to thank everyone for the well wishes they sent yesterday for Web’s wisdom teeth removal. We both appreciated it so very much. Everything went quite well, and our drive home was quite entertaining with Web a little loopy from the anesthesia. This morning he is doing well with a bit of swelling.🦷

I’m currently reading While Paris Slept with @keepingyouonread and I’m finding this story touching as it takes an intimate look at war torn France through the eyes of a young French couple.

𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: One woman must make the hardest decision of her life in this unforgettably moving story of resistance and faith during one of the darkest times in history.

Santa Cruz, 1953. Jean-Luc is a man on the run from his past. The scar on his face is a small price to pay for surviving the horrors of Nazi occupation in France. Now, he has a new life in California, a family. He never expected the past to come knocking on his door.

Paris, 1944. A young Jewish woman's past is torn apart in a heartbeat. Herded onto a train bound for Auschwitz, in an act of desperation she entrusts her most precious possession to a stranger. All she has left now is hope.

On a darkened platform, two destinies become intertwined, and the choices each person makes will change the future in ways neither could have imagined.

Told from alternating perspectives, While Paris Slept reflects on the power of love, resilience, and courage when all seems lost. Exploring the strength of family ties, and what it really means to love someone unconditionally, this debut novel will capture your heart.
