Fleeing France (by Alan Hlad)

I am a huge fan of historical fiction ... especially those that occur during WWII. This book was a little different focus than those I have read in the past. While it deals with the story of a nightclub singer who decides that she needs to do more to help end the war that Germany has declared. Her willingness to volunteer to drive as part of the French Ambulance Service (along with her friend, Lucette) is admirable. The relationships she makes, the people she meets, the efforts she makes in helping an RAF pilot and a young 9-year-old Jewish girl and her grandfather escape France. I learned more about the efforts to rescue those who participated in the battle at Dunkirk. The author did a wonderful job of providing well researched details while bringing to life the people who were willing to sacrifice everything to end the war. A little bit of romance, edge-of-your-seat anticipation, a front-seat view of the willingness of individuals to make a difference. This is definitely one to put at the top of your to-read list!
