Emily, a young girl with a heart full of dreams, woke up on a peaceful sunny morning like she always did. Little did she know that destiny had a different plan for her that day. As she finished her breakfast, her mother, usually calm and composed, seemed on edge, fidgety even. Emily's curiosity peaked.

After a few minutes of tense conversation between her parents, Emily found out that her father had been kidnapped by a notorious gang of criminals. The police had been informed, but there was little hope of finding him alive. Panic and despair threatened to engulf Emily's soul but in that moment, she made a silent vow to bring her father back, no matter the cost.

The city's dangerous alleyways became her playground as she discreetly gathered information and formed alliances with unlikely companions. Each step she took brought her closer to the truth, but danger lurked at every corner.

The sun had set long ago when Emily finally reached the gang's hideout. Adrenaline coursed through her veins as she stood before the imposing structure, ready to face her biggest challenge yet.

Her experiences had molded her in ways she couldn't have imagined. With a newfound sense of purpose, she vowed to use her voice to advocate for justice, change, and better opportunities for children caught in similar circumstances.

"So direct and unaffected that the mot juste is 'amateur' in the original sense of the one who embarks on a project motivated by love and conviction rather than for gain.”—Los Angeles Times Fifty years have passed since the Normandy landing that began the liberation of France from Nazi occupation. This touching eyewitness account, told from the perspective of a twelve-year-old girl, has all the force and beauty of Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl. As the first wave of Allied paratroopers landed behind the lines in Normandy on the night of June 5, 1944, many fell into the flooded marshlands on either side of the railway line that ran between Paris and Cherbourg—virtually in the Duboscq family’s backyard. Throughout that historic night, Geneviève and her father, a hard-drinking peasant named Papa Maurice, saved numerous Americans from drowning and gave them refuge while they regrouped for what was to become one of the most heroic battles of World War II.
