Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Though there is a shadow of war creeping across Europe, neither woman suspects that their lives are about to irrevocably change. Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life—her young daughter, playmate to Juliette’s own little girl.

When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life—her young daughter, playmate to Juliette’s own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette’s Librairie des Rêves, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliette’s world is destroyed along with it.

What happened to her daughter in those last, terrible moments? Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her.

    This book is not available on Bookshare, but the commercial version is on BARD. The BARD synopsis is below. When Ellie Fields accepts a teaching job in a tiny Louisiana town deep in Bayou country in 1949, she knows her life will change—but she could never imagine just how dramatically_ Though rightfully suspicious of outsiders, who hathreatenedted both their language and their unique culture, most of the residents come to appriciate the young and idealistic schoolteacher and she's soon teaching just about everyone, despite opposition from both the school board and a poltician with ulterior motives. Yet itthethd lessons Ellie herself will learn—from new friends, a captivating Cajun fisherman, and even a legendary white alligator haunting the bayou—that will make all the difference. Take a step away from the familiar and enter the shadowy waters of bayou country for a story of risk, resilience, and romance.
