Because of a great-nephew he’s
never met, needing immediate supervision by a relative, retired chemistry
professor Noah Selvaggio amends his plan to go solo to the French Riviera he
left as a small child during the Holocaust. He takes Michael, his
eleven-year-old great nephew with him. Together Michael and Noah learn from
each other as they also solve mysteries about their family history. They learn
about human nature, love and loyalty, and risk both in WW II Nice, France and
modern-day New York. They also learn they have more in common then either
originally believed.
