Based on a remarkable true story of love and survival. In June 1940, the Channel Islands are occupied by Hitler's forces. Hedy Bercu, a young woman who fled from Vienna to Jersey to escape the Occupation, finds herself once more entrapped by the Nazis, this time with no escape. Concealing her Jewish status, she finds translation work with the German authorities and embarks on secret acts of resistance. Most extraordinary of all, Hedy falls in love with a German lieutenant – a relationship on which her survival comes to depend. 'Combines historical fact with the fictional narrative, and offers a cast rich with multidimensional characters. Readers will be riveted' – Publishers Weekly

Chuck Graham has produced a pictorial homage to the Carrizo Plain at its most beautiful. His excellent photographs encourage the reader to explore the many hidden paths, valleys, flowing springs, and mountain ridges beyond the easily travelled roadsides of the Carrizo Plain, one of the last areas of wilderness habitat in the Golden State of California.
