"At twenty-five, Ruby Nevins has already endured more than most. But after two years of battling cancer, she's warily determined to move forward. Researching a new work project about a French actress, she soon uncovers an old diary that will change her life forever . . . C©♭cile, the 'it' girl of early 1940s French cinema, vanished from Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942. Sylvia Rousseau, C©♭cile's dressmaker and confidante, left that same year. Working to piece together the truth behind C©♭cile's disappearance and Sylvia's extraordinary life, Ruby recognizes the women as kindred spirits. They risked their hearts and lives to aid the Resistance, and each day was a struggle to survive. Ruby knows her cancer could come back, but she's learning to embrace the future rather than fear it. If C©♭cile and Sylvia could live their lives in the shadow of death, so can Ruby. Because she knows there's so much life and love to fight for."--
