The Wine Merchant

Sam goes back in time with Claire to a small village in France during WWII and into the Diary of another young woman - as she learns to live, love and survive in the caves of Champagne during the Nazi occupation. It's thrilling and charming with a bit of love tension in between - not to mention the characters and family that make this village a very special place in the caves of Champagne.

Sam narrates an especially touching episode with two of Claire's Diary entries. In the first entry Claire describes her feelings about being in Laurente's company - just being and thinking with her too. The second entry covers Claire's delayed return to her favorite French Village along with the people there - a time to remember and cherish too.
