We Were Dancing On Volcano by Joe Gatins

Author Joe Gatins chronicles his family's remarkable history, including his great-grandfather who built and operated Atlanta's famous Georgian Terrace Hotel and his French heiress grandmother, Egle Gatins, whose description of her own life between the wars in Paris gives the book its evocative title. A richly illustrated, compelling saga and biography, this unsentimental social history follows the adventures of more than five generations of families that made their mark on both Atlanta and Paris. The narrative especially highlights one grandmother's brave work with the French Resistance in World War II and her untiring efforts to successfully help her only son escape from Nazi prisoner of war camps.
