The Lives of Alice Pothron

Written history is only one version of the truth. The version lived by people who struggled with fear, hunger, guilt and hopelessness is very different from that of dull dusty history books. This is not an historical treatise but the story of two ordinary young people caught up in events not of their choosing and their experiences under the Nazi regime. It is how it was remembered many years after the events. Set against the horrific history of the time this story tells of what the Pothron family suffered and how they triumphed. Not only is this a love story but it is a devoted daughter's way of honoring her parents and ensuring that they and their story live forever.
