Without Yesterday: Mona's War is a novel combining fiction with well-researched historical detail. During the Second World War in occupied France, the Gestapo, aided by the Milice, confronts resistance groups determined to achieve liberation. Two young women from vastly different backgrounds, victims of Nazi reprisals, meet under dramatic circumstances. Struggling to survive in a cauldron of lies and deceit where trust is a rare commodity, one has the opportunity to save the life of the other at the expense of her own life. Honesty and trust become rare qualities; everyone has choices to make with no guarantee of a secure outcome. Time is precious, lives are at stake and a Nazi leader is attempting to protect his future, unaware of its consequences. This compelling novel is a stark reminder of the dark years of WWII in occupied France by an author who takes the reader on a journey from the aftermath of the Great War to the barbarism of the Nazis during the occupation of France in WWII.
