How do you fight the Nazis right under their noses? With cunning and courage.
As the Gestapo closes in, can Hetty and her family and friends make it through the war, free to live and love again? Inspired by true events, Robert Loewen\'s debut novel pays tribute to the heroism of his mother-in-law, who served as a courier in the Dutch resistance during World War II..
She tries to forbid her younger brother from volunteering for combat in the resistance and argues with her father about becoming too cozy with the Nazis.
All the while, Hetty worries about her family.
She heroically fights back as she and her friends accept increasingly dangerous assignments.
During five years of war, Hetty is challenged by a gauntlet of spies and betrayal.
At great personal risk, the three women carry documents, secret messages, and cash to protect Jews, downed pilots, and others hiding from the Nazis.
But she has little time to grieve when she volunteers as a courier for the Dutch resistance, joined by her roommate, the beautiful Mimi, and seventeen-year-old Maria, the daughter of a slain resistance fighter.
When the Germans invade the Netherlands, Leiden University student Hetty\'s boyfriend goes missing.
