Summary:

"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 . . . Cécile, the 'it' girl of early 1940s French cinema, vanished from Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942. Sylvia Rousseau, Cécile's dressmaker and confidante, left that same year. Working to piece together the truth behind Cécile'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 Cécile 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."-- Provided by publisher.
