My Father's House

Summary

During World War II in Nazi-occupied Rome, an unlikely group of resistance fighters works to save thousands of Allied prisoners of war and Jews from deportation. At the center is Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, an Irish priest at the Vatican who orchestrates a dangerous escape network. The story follows the real-life heroes who risked everything to shelter escapees in apartments, convents, and safe houses throughout the city, while German forces intensely hunt them. This historical novel illuminates a little-known chapter of wartime courage and humanitarian resistance in the Eternal City.
