The ideal of a new Germany swept up Sophie Scholl in a maelstrom of patriotic fervor - that is, until she realized the truth behind Hitler's machinations for the fatherland. Now she and other students in Munich, the cradle of the Nazi government, have banded together to form a group to fight for the truth: the White Rose. Risking everything to print and distribute leaflets calling for Germans to rise up against the evil permeating their country, the White Rose treads a knife's edge of discovery by the Gestapo.

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

Publisher's Summary
Renowned German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer is famous for his resistance to the Nazi regime and for his allegiance to God over government. But what few realize is that the last years of his life also held a love story that rivals any romance novel.
Maria von Wedemeyer knows the realities of war. Her beloved father and brother have both been killed on the battlefield. The last thing this spirited young woman needs is to fall for a man under constant surveillance by the Gestapo. How can she give another piece of her heart to a man so likely to share the same final fate? Yet when Dietrich Bonhoeffer, an old family friend, comes to comfort the von Wedemeyers after their losses, she discovers that love isn't always logical.
Dietrich himself has determined to keep his distance from romantic attachments. There is too much work to be done for God, and his involvement in the conspiracy is far too important. But when he encounters a woman whose intelligence and conviction match his own, he's unprepared for how easy it is to give away his heart.
With their deep love comes risk - and neither Dietrich nor Maria is prepared for just how great that risk soon becomes.

Well done, moving, sad, and inspiring
I didn’t think anyone would be able to pull such a novel off in such a realistic and delicate way. It’s inspiring to me as a Christian to know this side of Bonhoeffer’s story. I definitely recommend this along with Eric Metaxis’ Bonhoeffer book.

A true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his love Maria
Beautifully written and keeps you engaged and on the edge of your seat. Dietrich and Maria were given an untimely love story, it seems, by God. But even love and deep devotion can grow in a time of utter evil and despair. I’m so grateful for this God-glorifying story and what an inspiration it is to me. Dietrich and Maria were raw and real in their emotions: fear, excitement, devastation, longing, love, and devotion to God. In a time in America where our freedoms are being taken away and the government, culture, and corporations are favoring one line of thinking I am so thankful for their example. May God give His confessing church the courage and boldness to share the Gospel and stand for truth, unwavering. Thank you Maria for publishing these precious letters and making your life vulnerable to the world. ❤️

Kurt Holland wants the best for his younger brother, which is why he moves Sam to Bridgeport, Ohio. It's a bigger town with a well-known high school. Just the place to give his little brother more opportunities - maybe even a scholarship to college. Kurt hopes his gamble pays off, since Sam's future isn't the only thing riding on it. Kurt's put most of his savings into a new landscaping business there, too. But when Sam gets in trouble for fighting at school, Kurt isn't so sure it was the right decision, until he meets Sam's English teacher.

The ideal of a new Germany swept up Sophie Scholl in a maelstrom of patriotic fervor - that is, until she realized the truth behind Hitler's machinations for the fatherland. Now she and other students in Munich, the cradle of the Nazi government, have banded together to form a group to fight for the truth: the White Rose. Risking everything to print and distribute leaflets calling for Germans to rise up against the evil permeating their country, the White Rose treads a knife's edge of discovery by the Gestapo.
