This new series is based on three heroines of the Dutch Resistance. In this first book set in Haarlem in 1941, we meet Trudi, whose family is hiding a Jewish family in their attic. Their arrest spurs her on to join the resistance movement with a particular interest in saving children.

I was struck by two things in particular. The first was that this particular Resistance cell seemed unstructured and unorganized which is so dangerous when dealing with the Nazis. It made me quite nervous. Many of the missions that Trudi was sent on were poorly planned by their leader, even though the lives of children were at stake. Trudi was often too trusting of strangers but perhaps she hardens up as the war progresses. The other thing that struck me was that there were so few women in the Resistance in The Netherlands, at least in the time period covered in this book.

This is a quick read and very informative about the Nazi Occupation in The Netherlands. Trudi's passion for saving Jewish children led her to perform incredible acts of bravery under extraordinary circumstances. Knowing that this is based on a real person makes it even more rewarding to read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the digital ARC. All opinions & the review are my own.
