VieVie La Fontaine
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99When I first published this book in 2018, wars raged in various parts of the world, just like today. Hourly, we were allowed to follow the horror and depravity as it unfolded. On June 14, 1940, during World War II, Germany invaded Paris, marking the start of the German occupation. At that time, there wasn’t the ease of news delivery at citizens’ fingertips. Instead, acts of bravery that we seldom consider occurred. Despite the possibility of severe punishment, the underground press distributed newspapers to offset the Vichy and German propaganda. Often, coded messages relayed instructions to members of the Resistance. An attempt to distribute and obtain daily news was itself a death sentence if found out. Yet, the spirit of the oppressed was undaunted.
VieVie La Fontaine is the story of two souls drawn together by a force they couldn’t comprehend.
Facts are intertwined with Fiction as this tale of incredible bravery unfolds. Maybe, there existed a Mark and VieVie. We may never know, but I offer VieVie La Fontaine in honor of the strength and determination of so many. -
