When war is declared, the Library is determined to remain open. But then the Nazis invade Paris, and everything changes.

But as Lily uncovers more about Odiles mysterious past, she discovers a dark secret, closely guarded and long hidden. Based on the true Second World War story of the heroic librarians at the American Library in Paris, this is an unforgettable novel of romance, friendship, family, and of heroism found in the quietest of places.
