Lucretia — Barbara Riefe

HER WILL TO SURVIVE ENDURED THE THRUSTS OF FATE -- AND THE TUMULTUOUS TIDES OF HISTORY

Lucretia flees the elegance of her wealthy New York family for the incomparable artists' quarter of Paris in the 1920, only to find her dreams of romance and excitement shattered by the tragic death of her adoring husband. She overcomes her despair to become one of Paris's most sought after hostesses, but the serenity of her world is destroyed when the Nazis march into her beloved adopted city. Lucretia's courage is tested anew by the challenge of a dramatic rescue mission. Will she survive to prove she is truly a fitting heiress to the Shackleford legacy?
