Before the first shells fell on Ypres, seventeen-year-old Elodie Durnez watched the sunrise from her family’s parlor window, unaware of how quickly her world would change. When war reached her doorstep, she and her family fled across Belgium in search of safety, leaving behind everything they knew. Years later, as peace finally returns to Europe, Elodie must face what remains of the place she once called home.

A story of loss, endurance, and the quiet strength that carries us through even the darkest of times.
