A sweeping, powerful story about a mother's love for her child that
will take you through a world war and across a continent... **** On
the cusp of World War II, a young mother is faced with an
impossible choice. Vera is a Russian Jewish emigre to France, newly
wed - but her marriage cannot protect her or her
four-year-old-daughter, Lucie, once the Nazis occupy the country.
After receiving notice that all foreigners must report to an
internment camp, Vera must decide: does she subject Lucie to the
horrid conditions of the camp, or put Lucie into hiding with her
beloved and trusted governess, safe until Vera can retrieve her?
Surely the war will end soon... And so begins a heartbreaking
journey and separation . . . and an unpredictable fate for a mother
and her daughter. **** Praise for Those Who Are Saved: 'A profound
