In occupied France, two people sacrificed everything. Now their granddaughter has come looking for the truth

Ruth's childhood was a happy one, and her family-on her mother's side-large and loving. But her father's French origins have always remained a mystery. Now, with aged relatives beginning to die, Ruth decides to research her father's family before it's too late.

When she discovers a series of long-lost cassettes, everything she thought she knew about them shatters. The tapes expose an unimaginable truth - an epic wartime story of hidden love and sacrifice, stretching back to occupied France.

These long-buried confessions will rock Ruth's family-and finally piece together the puzzle of her father's heritage. But are any of them ready for the truth?
