About this listen
We don’t choose how we feel, but we choose how we act.
It’s 1942. German Nazis occupy much of France. And 12-year-old Miriam, who is Jewish, is not safe. With help and quick thinking, Miri is saved from the roundup that takes her entire Jewish neighbourhood. She escapes Paris, landing in a small French village, where the spires of the famous Chateau de Chenonceau rise high into the sky, its bridge across the River Cher like a promise, a fairy tale.
But Miri’s life is no fairy tale. Her parents are gone – maybe alive, maybe not. Taken in at the boarding school near the chateau, pretending to be Catholic to escape Nazi capture, Miri volunteers one night to undertake a deadly task, one that spans the castle grounds, its bridge and the very border to freedom. Here is her chance to escape – hopefully to find her parents. But will she take it? One thing is certain – the person Miri meets that night will save her life. And the person Miri becomes that night could save the lives of many more.
