About this item
In the aftermath of Dunkirk, an American nightclub singer in France faces a harrowing journey of sacrifice and bravery in this emotional, action-packed story inspired by real wartime events.
France, 1939: Ruth Lacroix, a talented singer from Maine, dreams of performing at the Casino de Paris. However, the outbreak of war and the tragic news of her cousin’s death prompt her to support France in any way she can. Despite her lack of experience with vehicles larger than a tractor, Ruth joins the French ambulance corps.
During a critical mission to evacuate injured soldiers to Dunkirk, Ruth and her friend encounter Jimmie, a British Royal Air Force pilot who has bailed out of his burning plane. With Dunkirk falling and the route to the northern coast blocked, they learn of Operation Aerial—a daring Allied plan to rescue remaining troops and civilians from ports in western France.
Over the next two weeks, Ruth and Jimmie embark on a perilous journey of over 4,000 miles, navigating treacherous terrain and helping other refugees escape. Their path is fraught with danger as they race to reach the sea before the German army closes in. Despite their courage and resilience, every moment is fraught with uncertainty, where a single stroke of luck or a split-second decision could mean the difference between life and death.
In this gripping tale of devotion and hope, Ruth and Jimmie’s journey becomes a testament to the power of human spirit in the face of unimaginable odds. ❤️📚❤️
