Splintered Shadows:
Recovering a French Résistante
What secrets would you uncover if you searched for the truth about your mother’s past?
After the war, Andrée—a Frenchwoman with a mysterious past—married an American serviceman and left her homeland behind, taking her secrets to the grave. Decades later, her adoptive daughter, Marilyn Moriarty, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. Armed with a single clue—a name scrawled on a photograph from 1945—Moriarty discovers a startling tale of courage, betrayal, and deception. As layers of her mother’s double life in Nazi-occupied France are revealed, Moriarty must confront the shadows of war and the fractured identity of a woman she thought she knew.
