Description: Novelist Tyler Trafford reconstructs the story of his mother's life--from her youth as a Montreal debutante to her final days as a casualty of an unhappy marriage--as he uncovers the mystery of her relationship with Jens Müller, one of only three prisoners to make it home after the "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III, the infamous Nazi prisoner-of-war camp.
