Publisher Description

A mother makes a heartbreaking choice in this unforgettable story about devotion and sacrifice in World War II–era France. Marie Vachon experiences firsthand the devastation of the German invasion when she takes in a Jewish refugee named Josiane. A loving, if temporary, home for the displaced child. A second chance at motherhood for Marie. After three years, an inseparable bond is created. It's one that leads Marie and Josiane to an inevitable but surprising reckoning that calls into question what motherhood means—and where it ends.

The Road Home is part of Good Intentions, a collection of stories about the instincts, fears, and fierce love inherent in motherhood. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.
