The most ordinary of choices set the stage for questions of life and death
ForeWord Indies Book of the Year Awards | Bronze Medal
A French teenager fights to fit in, newly arrived in 1939 in his father's rural hometown, imagining the local bully’s scorn is the worst thing he and his family’s young Jewish boarder will have to face in the coming year.
An Austrian brother and sister—Jewish orphans whose father told them they must leave their country to save their lives—travel westward aross Europe, alone and homeless, horribly unprepared for life on the road.
As France falls to the Nazis, the most ordinary of schoolyard rivalries may become the force that turns the fate of the young refugees—and of those willing to give them welcome.
How Huge the Night is the first book in a loosely-connected series based on true events that happened on a certain plateau in France during WWII. Each novel is a standalone and you can read just one of them or read them in any order; each is its own separate story. If you read them in order of publication they'll take you chronologically through WWII in Europe--as well as one family's progress through that dark time and the development of a remarkable real-life rescue movement.
