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.​
