Escape from Paris (Carolyn Hart Classics)

Two American sisters risk their lives helping Allied soldiers escape occupied France during World War II. In 1940, after her parents' death, Linda Rossiter leaves college to join her sister Eleanor and Eleanor's family in Paris. When Germany invades, the reality of war becomes immediate. Eleanor's husband Andre disappears after fighting in Dunkirk, and Linda stays to support Eleanor and her son. While helping with Red Cross hospital visits, Linda smuggles home a wounded British airman. This act sets Linda and Eleanor on a dangerous path: they begin working to help Allied soldiers escape from occupied France. Their efforts put them in grave danger. On Christmas Eve, the Gestapo sets a trap, and the sisters face a life-or-death situation. Set in German-occupied Paris just before America entered the war and as the French Resistance was beginning to emerge, the novel follows these two sisters through acts of courage and sacrifice.
