Gestapo boss Obersturmbannf?hrer Paul Hauptmann rules with terror. Hunger is widespread. Rumors fester. The war's outcome is far from certain. Diplomats, refugees, and escaped Allied prisoners flee for protection into Vatican City, at one fifth of a square mile the world's smallest state, a neutral, independent country within Rome. A small band of unlikely friends led by a courageous Irish priest is drawn into deadly danger as they seek to help those seeking refuge. Book 1 in the Rome Escape Line Trilogy, My Father's House is a powerful, heartbreaking literary thriller based on the true story of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, who risked his life to smuggle thousands of Jews and escaped Allied prisoners out of Italy under the nose of his Nazi nemesis. A deadly high-stakes battle of wits ensues in this astonishing, unforgettable story of love, faith and sacrifice, exploring what it means to be truly human in the most extreme circumstances. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a O'Flaherty, Hugh, $d 1898-1963 $v Fiction. 610 20 $a Catholic Church $x Clergy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Escapes $z Italy $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Priests $z Ireland $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Diplomats $z Vatican City $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Electronic books. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15633846?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/csp_9781609458362_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41A7E58E940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
