The Bells

Douai, France, is known for the bells of the carillon that reside in the tower that overlooks the town. To the people of Douai, it is as if the bells are fellow citizens that guide them with their spirit. When Jacqueline and Henri fell in love, it was the bells that brought them together, and it was the bells that formed their lives. Foreigners, seeking to rule Douai, took down the bells and recast them with a plan of evil intent. The spirit of the bells thwarted their efforts. The bells were removed from the tower, and Jacqueline is compelled to do her best to restore them, but she cannot know that forces far beyond her imagination are joining her efforts. Stubbornly refusing to give into the helplessness, and the occasional ridicule of her fellow townspeople, she spends decades believing that the bells would one day be lifted up again.The will of a solitary woman, along with the spirit of the bells, brings surprise to an entire town. It might just be more than they can endure.
