THE CHILDREN’S VILLA

Italy, 1943. Courage becomes an act of love.

As Nazi forces occupy Italy, British expat Beatrice "Bee" Grifoni shelters orphaned and displaced children at her secluded Tuscan villa, knowing discovery could mean death. In occupied Rome, her sister-in-law, Caterina Grifoni, abandons her privileged life to join the resistance, risking everything in acts of sabotage against the German occupiers.

When the war reaches the villa, the two women must lead the children across a battlefield in a desperate fight for survival. Inspired by true stories, The Children's Villa is an emotionally powerful novel of courage, sacrifice, friendship, and the extraordinary lengths ordinary people will go to protect those they love.
