Although Ella grew up in Germany under Hitler’s regime, being taught from a young age to idolize the Nazi Party, as she reaches adulthood she chooses to become a part of the German Resistance.

I really knew nothing about the German resistance prior to picking up this book. But after finishing it, I know that I want to learn more. This book was a wonderful balance of fiction and historical information. The author has a gift for creating a sense of place whether the setting was on a snowy mountain or the streets of Germany in the early 1940’s. The pacing was great; I found myself reading before work, on my lunch break and late at night until I finished it. I hope the author continues to write in this genre.

She has seen fellow resistors come and go. Many have been captured and killed. She knows she loves each day on the edge of a sharp knife. She also knows that people you know the best can turn you into the Gestapo.
A story of you g rebels of the resistance. Trying to through the Nazi Government. They'll do anything they need to to survive and help others survive.
Excellent story. Strong characters.

A thrilling and heartfelt story; draws you in very quickly and doesn't let go. Excellent character development. Highly recommended!
