“It is 1943 in war-torn Holland, and Hanneke Eikema’s ordinary life as a teenager has become a routine of clandestine activities: hoarding food, burying valuables, sneaking out after curfew, hearing rumours of classmates who have “disappeared.”.  And with German soldiers everywhere on patrol , she has learned not to ask too many questions.  But as Nazi persecutions persist, Hanneke becomes moved by a passion – a need – to find some way to aid those who are suffering.  She secretly joins the Dutch resistance movement and is suddenly immersed in a life-threatening world of assumed names, covert meetings, and perilous missions.”
