Most castles are protected by men. This one is protected by women. A founding mother ... 1774. ently-bred noblewoman Adrienne Lafayette becomes her husband, the Marquis de Lafayette’s, political partner in the fight for American independence. But when their idealism sparks revolution in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must renounce the complicated man she loves, or risk her life for a legacy that will inspire generations to come. A daring visionary .. 1914. Glittering New York socialite Beatrice Chanler is a force of nature, daunted by nothing – not her humble beginnings, her crumbling marriage or the outbreak of war. But after witnessing the devastation in France firsthand, Beatrice takes on the challenge of a lifetime – convincing America to fight for what's right. A reluctant resistor ... 1940. French school-teacher and aspiring artist Marthe Simone has an orphan's self-reliance and wants nothing to do with war. But as the realities of Nazi occupation transform her life in the isolated castle where she came of age, she makes a discovery that calls into question who she is, and more importantly, who she is willing to become.
