A youth yanked out of the only life he's known to live on the other side of the Atlantic with a grandmother he's never seen before...

A mother who shrugs off her son's anguish with breezy assurances like "You'll love America, Emile"...

A father's sudden disappearance from his son's life with no explanation or even a goodbye...

Following his father's dubious disappearance, adolescent Emile de Bonnery is forced to leave his native France for Atlanta, Georgia, never suspecting what awaits him in the South of 1964-culture shock, racism, and friendship with a strange girl named Eternity Jones. He brings with him to America an odd collection of "treasures" used by his father during the French Resistance. With the aid of these "treasures." Emile and Eternity find themselves on a journey through abuse, betrayal, and prejudice that will ultimately lead them into a spiritual quest for healing.

Spanning four decades, Searching for Eternity twists and turns through the secret tunnels of the French Resistance in Lyon, France, the racial tensions of the 1960s in the American South, and the trial of Klaus Barbie, the infamous "Butcher of Lyon", in the 1980s.
