Dedication
To those who dreamed the possible—
and to those who dreamed the impossible, daring to make it possible
To Ron, whose love has cocooned me so I could emerge to spread my wings
Author Note
This novel is a work of fiction inspired by historical events in France. While I stayed close to the facts, I took the liberty of constructing fictional stories and novelizing scenes of some real-life personalities. Mostly, I created a cast of imaginary characters.
For more about the historical background of the novel, please refer to the author’s note at the back of this book and to the
author’s website at www.TaliaCarner.com.

Epigraph
A generation which ignores history has no past—and no future.
—Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.
—Golda Meir (attributed)
