Summary
Armande Martel, a young nun from Quebec, is arrested by the Germans in 1940 during a stay at her religious order’s mother house in Brittany. She spends the war years in a German concentration camp. After her return to Canada, she leaves her religious order, finds the love of her life in Montreal, and adopts Lise Dion. Growing up, Lise is familiar with only a few facts about her mother’s past, but many mysteries of Armande’s early life are unlocked after her death. Winner of the 2014 White Pine Non-Fiction Award. 2013
