"From the sky, my point of view is shifted. my mindset is changed. The laws of science are blurred. It all softens behind the window of a plane."
On October 13, 1943, Italy declared war on Nazi Germany, thus changing the course of its history forever.
As the war surges around them, Mandy lives in the heart of Rome with her family, her father teaching the careful practice of crop dusting. Flying the plane is her freedom and her escape until the Allied forces invade, tearing apart the world she once knew. As bomb raids, food shortages, and mistrust attempts to shatter the hope of the living, Mandy is thrust into an era gripped by loss and destruction. Alone and afraid, she must find the strength within her to survive and overcome, as well as allowing herself to be softened by the love that may be the hardest, yet the only, thing left to give.

Tulips in Her Hand
(Currently Editing) Poland, 1942. When Celina Rudaski took the evening train to Warsaw, she did not expect to return responsible for the lives of two Jews. Then again, she did not expect her father to be whisked away in the middle of the night by soldiers, nor did she expect her house to become swallowed by flames of fiery hatred. Yet it all happened in the matter of twenty-four hours. A stubborn, introverted fifteen year old girl, Celina refuses to believe the many stories of the horrific genocide against the Jews, often turning a blind eye to anything that reminds her of the war. But when she unwittingly promises to hide two Jews in a home she does not have, Celina must journey across Europe with these strangers in search of lady who might be able to rescue them. They are filthy, they are broken, and Celina cannot seem to control the hatred burning inside her. Together they travel town to town, witnessing each cities own branch of horrors, even hiding in basements of strangers. In ways painfully unimaginable to Celina, these two Jews affect her life in the deepest of ways. As they dodge bullets, stumble upon an injured enemy pilot, and attempt to escape the hands of the Germans naming them fugitives, Celina must learn to face what she has been too terrified of her entire life. ***Edited by the lovely @jgfairytalesTerminé
