7 Rue Maspero: 1944 Hiding in Plain Sight from the Nazis

7 Rue Maspero is Nancy Carol Wright’s first historical memoir. Based on the considerable talents displayed in her writing and recounting of this incredible true story of her father’s experience as a downed B-17 Bombardier, along with his crew in the forests of northern France during WWII, this will not be her last successful effort. Wright’s nearly novelistic account is part documentary, part labor of love—and a true war story of peril, survival and unrequited love, whose quality of storytelling could have been penned by a far more veteran writer. She has included many passages verbatim from her father’s conversations, journals and recollections along with her own passionate memories of those discussions. 7 Rue Maspero will keep a large part of the readership of this compelling story “unable to put the book down,” as the proverbial saying goes. These readers, probably like yourself are: WWII history “buffs,” military enthusiasts and those with interest in the human side of war. Aren’t we all so very fortunate to be able to discover these facts, emotions and heroics for ourselves from one who lived them—we must never forget this atrocity and sacrifice. Had it not been for writers like Nancy Carol Wright who took on the monumental task of meticulously accounting these stories, so much would have been lost. Arthur Haley, author of Roots once said, “When a man or a woman dies without telling his or her story, it is the equivalent of a library burning down.” Wright’s midwestern upbringing also lends a soft and insightful tone of honesty and simplicity to the sharing of her father’s daunting decision to enlist during a war, fight for a noble cause, and experience life-changing circumstances. Nancy resides in Southern California with her husband, children and grandchildren.
