Mason's newest novel is inspired by her father-in-law's experiences during World War II. Her protagonist, Marshall Stone, reflects on being shot down as an Allied fighter pilot in Occupied Europe. Marshall was saved from the German troops through an underground railroad of sorts and smuggled back to his base in England by citizens mounting a quiet rebellion against Hitler's army. Years later, Marshall returns to Europe to find out what happened to the ordinary people who saved his life, especially the Parisian girl in the blue beret.
