A love forged in the shadow of war.

Charles is a quiet, humble young man from an American farming community who finds himself half a world away, serving as an Army medic amid the devastation of World War II. He asks for no recognition and expects none. His duty is simple: care for the wounded, endure the losses, and somehow make it home.

Jeanine is a spirited young Frenchwoman whose family café hides a dangerous secret. After the Nazi occupation of France, Jeanine, her mother, and her sister risk their lives aiding the French Resistance. Racing through the darkness on her motorcycle to carry out clandestine missions, Jeanine earns a fitting nickname from the soldiers who come to know her: Fearless.
When war finally brings Charles’s battalion to Jeanine’s village, a desperate escape from Nazi soldiers leaves her badly injured and believing she has reached the end.

Then Charles finds her.

As he tends her wounds, two people from different worlds discover a love neither expected. But the war is far from over, and Charles must return to the fighting—leaving Jeanine to wonder whether the man who saved her will ever come back.
Inspired by the true story of the author’s grandparents, this is a story of courage, sacrifice, faith, and a love strong enough to survive the darkest days of war.
