In love we find out who we want to be.  In war we find out who we are.   With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women.

"In April of 1999, I felt the call of Jesus Christ upon my life. It was both subtle and blatant, like the peace inside the eye of a hurricane. I could in no way resist and I in no way understood what would become of my life."

Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life.  In her late 30s her world was turned upside down by the idea that Christianity, a religion that she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was.  This is the story of what she describes as a "train wreck" at the hand of the supernatural.
