There they opened a library meant to celebrate the freedom of ideas and gathered every book on the banned list . . . and even incognito versions of the forbidden books that were smuggled back into Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the last six years, Corinne Bastien has been reading those books and making that library a second home. But when the German army takes possession of Paris, she loses access to the library and all the secrets she'd hidden there. Secrets the Allies will need if they have any hope of liberating the city she calls home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Bauer may be German, but he never wanted anything to do with the Nazi Party--he is a professor, one who's done his best to protect his family as well as the books that were a threat to Nazi ideals. But when Goebbels sends him to Paris to handle the \"relocation\" of France's libraries, he's forced into an army uniform and given a rank he doesn't want. In Paris, he tries to protect whoever and whatever he can from the madness of the Party and preserve the ideas that Germans will need again when that madness is over, and maybe find a lost piece of his heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand-alone historical fiction from a bestselling, Christy Award-winning author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thought-provoking novel perfect for book clubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roseanna M.
