Fifteen-year-old Magali lives in free France where everyone goes about pretending its life as usual. Yet, many of Magalis refugee friends displaced from their homes and forced into hiding from the Nazis and Vichy collaborators, are anything but free. Magali cant understand why no one, not even God, does anything. Then Paquerette arrives in town, a courier transporting the very small numbers of children she and her organization have persuaded the Nazis to release from the concentration camps. Magali has found the purpose she craves. But In her efforts to save at least a few children from certain death, will her brash words and actions demonstrate courage and maturity beyond her years or a naiveté that will bring danger to those she loves?

Heather Munn was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in southern France where her parents were missionaries like their parents before them. She has a BA in literature from Wheaton College and now lives in a Christian intentional community in rural Illinois, where she and her husband, Paul, host free spiritual retreats for the poor, especially those transitioning out of homelessness or addiction. When not writing or hosting, she works on the communal farm. Lydia Munn, daughter of missionary parents, grew up in Brazil. She received a BA in literature from Wheaton College, and an MA in Bible from Columbia Graduate School of Bible and Missions. With her husband, Jim, she has worked in church planting and Bible teaching since 1983, notably in St. Etienne, near the small town in the central mountains of France which forms the background of How Huge the Night. The Munns now live in Grenoble, France.
