THE AUTHOR
Francelle Bradford White
Francelle first learnt about her mother’s exploits in the French Resistance when she was 6 years old and subsequently spent much of her childhood listening to her mother, grandmother, uncle and their Resistance friends talk about their wartime memories. Based on Andrée's diaries and conversations over the years, Francelle brings her mother’s story to life. Despite her lifelong modesty, Andrée has been lauded by the French government for her bravery.
It is hoped that this book will bring her achievements - and the courage of the French Resistance - to a large audience whilst helping fund Alzheimer's and Dementia .... A film would be her dream.

The Story
Andrée Griotteray was only 19 when the Germans invaded France. She was just another young teenager, in search of fun and frivolity. Instead she found herself living in an occupied city, forced to work alongside the men who had invaded her country. Unable to stand by and do nothing, her younger brother Alain first set up an underground newspaper, urging readers to join the resistance, before creating his own resistance network. Andrée risked her life to help him in both endeavours.
Talks
Francelle regularly gives talks - around the UK and abroad, about Andrée’s War and the French Resistance.
