The Conrad Press Amélie and Chocolate Éclairs: A story of loss, escape, and unexpected encounters

Amélie and Chocolate Éclairs tells the story of a grieving mother whose life changes when she crosses paths with Jamal, an orphaned child hiding in a refugee camp in northern France. Amélie is a mother who, after eighteen years, is still grieving the loss of two of her children through tragic accidents. Jamal is a terrified nine-year old boy forced to flee his country when his entire family is killed during a murderous civil war. Now, he hides in a makeshift camp in northern France with Sultana, a woman he met while running away, and Aisha another orphaned child. Fate and an uncompromising bureaucracy means they will need more than luck to bring them together and luck is in very short supply. But does anybody care? Really care? Autorid: Carol Shimell-Haines
