I Am Not a Hero

Stephen Aimé Trahan

"I Am Not a Hero" draws inspiration from the incredible true story of Father Aimé J. Trahan, SSE, a young American priest sent to France just before the Nazi invasion. When the German army took control of his town, they appointed him as mayor, and it was under his covert leadership that La Résistance was born. Through his surreptitious activities, he managed to save numerous lives. However, as he became more involved in espionage and sabotage, the Gestapo began to close in on him. With no other choice, he was forced to flee, embarking on a perilous journey across France, over the Pyrenees, and into Portugal. Throughout his escape, he relied on the French Underground for clandestine assistance and protection. This gripping and suspenseful narrative provides a unique perspective of the Nazi invasion of France and the subsequent resistance, led by an American priest. From beginning to end, it will captivate you, leaving you unable to put it down.
