Faith and Courage in a Time of Trouble

France J. Pruitt’s book is a moving memoir of a Belgian-Jewish girl and her family who were saved during the Nazi occupation of France through the compassion and heroism of French peasants from the southern part of the country. Pruitt not only survived, but triumphed over trauma to become an individual who has dedicated her life to those she loves and to people in need throughout the world. The book is also available in French and Spanish language editions.
