On the eve of D-Day, in a small village on the Normandy coast, twenty-two-year-old Emmanuelle bakes bread laced with quiet defiance. Trained by a beloved Jewish mentor who was taken by the Nazis, Emma now survives by baking for the enemy—while secretly feeding her neighbors on the side.
With every stolen loaf and whispered trade, she builds a fragile network of resistance beneath the occupiers’ gaze. In a world stripped of freedom and hope, Emma’s oven becomes her weapon, her loaves symbols of silent rebellion.
But as Allied forces draw near, danger mounts and choices narrow. Emma must decide how far she’ll go to protect the people she loves.
In this moving World War II tale, one young woman rises in the face of fear—with nothing but flour, fire, and quiet courage.
