June, 1918 . . . A dog's devotion, courage, and intelligence stand between two French teens and despair. Love and determination sustain the threesome as they flee the tidal wave of war. A story of hardship, peril, resilience, and hope. Abby is the Durand family dog, a companion for fifteen-year-old Marcel and his sister, Geneviève. Marcel is plagued by doubts about his courage as he approaches military age. Geneviève has severe pneumonia and is convinced she will soon die. Evacuation is ordered as the German army barrels toward their home village. The doctor tending to Geneviève warns their mother that the rigors of evacuation will kill the young girl on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. Their mother waits until the last moment to leave their home in search of shelter. A disastrous escape leaves them orphaned and alone. Marcel and Geneviève must find a distant relative, Cousin Henri, who lives near Paris. However, they have never met him, are not sure of his last name, and don't know his address. Abby is the key-Henri is her former owner, though she begs to differ on the "owner" concept. If anyone can find him, she can. The teens confront their worst fears while seeking refuge amid the chaos of war, armed only with their faith in Abby.

Autorenporträt
John F. Andrews began writing fiction in 2012. The spark that ignited the flame was a true story strange enough to be fiction set in the 1930s. You can read about it when his novel Beware is released. This launched his historical fiction writing career. His novels leverage his fascination with history along with his knowledge and experience as a physician and a Marine Corps father. The latter has given him an intimate understanding of what it is like to be a service family member. It led to an intense interest in the history of the United States Marine Corps and the US Navy medical personnel who provide the medical care for Marines.Andrews was born in Chicago and raised in Wisconsin and Minnesota. After earning a BA in psychology, he completed medical school at the University of Minnesota. He trained in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, and then completed a pulmonary medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago. He earned board certifications in Internal, Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. After a successful practice in Green Bay, Wisconsin, he and his wife, Sue, moved to Manhattan, Montana. He joined his local volunteer fire department and trained as an EMT and basic wildland firefighter, became its medical officer, and served on the department for seven years. John and Sue moved to Arvada, Colorado, in 2024 where they enjoy family and the magnificent Rocky Mountains.
