Aprašymas

Based on a true story

Buchanan delivers a thought-provoking examination of the role of Christians in war and what true religion really means. Using larger than life characters from history, he weaves a philosophical tale of danger, intrigue, and sacrifice. --Library Journal

In Europe, the Nazi regime's bloody wake persists as they brutally send "undesirables" to concentration camps. Hannah, a young Jew, loses her mother and sister while fleeing certain death, arriving in Le Chambon in search of refuge.

Driven by their deeply rooted faith in God, Protestant pastor André Trocmé and his formidable wife Magda have turned the unassuming community in the foothills of the French Alps into a quiet resistance--a haven where they shelter escapees from Hitler's ever-tightening fist.

But a sadistic crew is on the rise. Under the supervision of the Butcher of Lyon, Gestapo officer Herr Lauer pursues the Jewish girl. Hannah was in his sights, but when she evaded him, his explosive rage and thirst for revenge set him on a spiraling mission to track her down.

With lyrical prose and historical accuracy, Mark Buchanan weaves a riveting narrative from the real-life stories of a pastor, a refugee, a spy, and an author tangled together in a plot against the Reich.
