The storm we made [sound recording] : a novel / by Chan, Vanessa(Novelist),author.(CARDINAL)885853; Tan, Samantha,narrator.;
Read by Samantha Tan.Malaya, 1945. Cecily Alcantara's family is in terrible danger: her fifteen-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day. Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth. A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be more than a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fuijwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an "Asia for Asians." Instead, Cecily helped usher in an even more brutal occupation by the Japanese. Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction, and she will do anything to save them.

Squirrel is alive : a teenager in the Belgian Resistance and French underground / by Rostad, Mary,1924-2011,author.; Hessel, Susan T.,author.(CARDINAL)378493; Feinberg, Stephen,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 133-134)."In Squirrel Is Alive, Mary Rostad tells the harrowing story of her time working in the Belgian resistance and French underground during World War II. As a teenager in 1940, Mary was horrified by the war unfolding around her as the Nazis invaded her home country of Belgium. Only fifteen years old, and unable to ignore the atrocities she witnessed every day, she started working for the Belgian resistance by passing out literature and thwarting the cruelty of the Nazis. However, after watching friends mysteriously disappear and realizing the danger her work posed for her family and friends, Mary made the brave decision to leave Belgium alone and on foot, with only the clothes on her back to continue her work with the dream of arriving in England to join the Free Belgium Arm. Along the way, Mary dodged bullets and had a front-row seat for D-Day, escaping danger at every turn. Describing the brutality of Hitler's Nazis in vivid detail, she paints a terrifying picture of the war, but one that ultimately ends in triumph"--

The Paris daughter [large print] / by Harmel, Kristin,author.;
"Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Though there is a shadow of war creeping across Europe, neither woman suspects that their lives are about to irrevocably change. When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life -- her young daughter, playmate to Juliette's own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette's Librairie des Revês, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliette's world is destroyed along with it. More than a year later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend's bookstore reduced to rubble -- and Juliette nowhere to be found. What happened to her daughter in those last, terrible moments? Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her. Elise's desperate search leads her to New York -- and to Juliette -- one final, fateful time."--
