Details: Far from Home is a gripping and emotional wartime story about the bond between a mother and daughter, from bestselling author Danielle Steel.
In July 1944, during the German occupation, Arielle von Auspeck arrives at the Ritz hotel in Paris, full of hope as she awaits her husband, Gregor, a retired colonel who is due to join her from Germany.
Her life is shattered when she learns that Gregor participated in Operation Valkyrie, the failed plot to assassinate Hitler, and has been executed as a traitor. With both French and German heritage, Arielle is secretly moved out of Paris for her own protection.
Cut off from her children in Germany, Arielle adopts a new identity and goes into hiding in a small Normandy village. As she settles into a local job, she forms a friendship with a man whose Jewish wife and daughter have been deported. Amid the chaos of war and the imminent Allied landings, Arielle discovers a hidden network of people who, like her, are resisting the occupying forces.
Together, they hold on to hope — that one day they will find their families and return home.
Danielle Steel delivers a powerful story of courage, resilience and survival during one of history’s darkest chapters.
