In 1961, Gabriella Madison moves to the small village of
Castelnau in France to attend classes in an exchange program. When one of her professors, David Hoffmann,
asks her out, she unknowingly steps into a world of secrets and falls in love. Across the sea, terrorist groups tear Algeria
apart with their fight for freedom from France.
Gabriella’s professor works secretly to bring children from Algeria to
the orphanage and uses the Huguenot cross as a symbol of his group. Things get dicey when the bad guys discover
Gabriella and David saves a child during a riot, while Gabriella begins working
for the orphanage.
This is such an intriguing story. Musser paints beautiful pictures of France,
including French phrases to add depth to the story. Musser’s characters are so realistic that
they feel like old friends, as they attempt to deal with memories and grow in
their relationship with the Lord. The
background of the Algerian war for independence added interest since this was
not part of familiar history for me. You
will not want to put this one down. I
would recommend it to anyone enjoying history, romance, and suspense.
