Vega Stern, art historian and mother, finds a single pink shoe at the Spring of Tears on Mount Sainte Odile in the picturesque countryside of Alsace, France. The shoe belonged to a dead young woman, Sarah Parker. Vega becomes entangled in the murder case of Sarah, and gets drawn deeply into the victim’s dark and mysterious past, which was marred by disturbing childhood memories, paranoia, drug abuse, and art theft during the Nazi era. The quest to solve the mystery leads to New York, Germany, and back to France, where works of art provide clues to finding the killer.

President Nixon declared the War on Cancer in 1971. 45 years and billions of dollars later, it looks like we have lost the battle. Or have we? When a natural, non-toxic way to fight cancer is discovered, it is big news in the scientific community. But instead of being embraced, it is fiercely opposed by those tied to the pharmaceutical industry. Research by the late Mirko Beljanski, PhD,—one of the first green molecular biologists—revealed that natural molecules can selectively target cancer cells and work alongside many chemotherapy drugs. Called upon by President Mitterrand of France to treat his prostate cancer, Beljanski allowed Mitterand to reach his second term in office; but upon the president’s death, the scientist became the subject of relentless persecution. This book, written through the eyes of Dr. Beljanski’s daughter, Sylvie, tells the true story of one woman’s quest to carry on her father’s legacy and to discover a new treatment for cancer. The book combines scientific information with a tale of defiance, hope, despair, personal growth and love.
