World War II Paris serves as the backdrop of a story of
compassion, betrayal, and forgiveness from the national
bestselling author of The Wedding Tree . . .
“I never knew what he saw in you.”
At her assisted living center in Wedding Tree, Louisiana,
ninety-three-year-old Amélie O’Connor is in the habit of
leaving her door open for friends. One day she receives an
unexpected visitor—Kat Thompson, the ex-fiancée of her late
husband, Jack.
Kat and Jack were high school sweethearts who planned to
marry when Jack returned from France after World War II. But
in a cruel twist of fate, their plans were irrevocably
derailed when a desperate French girl overheard an American
officer’s confession in a Parisian church. . .
Now Kat wants to know the truth behind a story that’s
haunted her whole life. Finding out how Amélie stole Jack’s
heart will—she thinks—finally bring her peace. As Amélie
recalls the dark days of the Nazi occupation of Paris,
The French War Bride reveals how history shapes the
courses of our lives. . .for better or for worse.
