Two women, two countries. Nothing in common but a call to fight.

A heart-stopping new novel based on the extraordinary true stories of an American socialite and a British secret agent whose stunning acts of courage collide in the darkest hours of World War II.

1940. In a world newly burning with war, and in spite of her American family’s wishes, Virginia d’Albert-Lake decides to stay in occupied France with her French husband. She’s sure that if they keep their heads down, they’ll survive. But is surviving enough?

Nineteen-year-old Violette Szabo has seen the Nazis’ evil up close and is desperate to fight them. But when she meets the man who’ll change her life only for tragedy to strike, Violette’s adrift. Until she enters the radar of Britain’s secret war organization—the Special Operations Executive—and a new fire is lit in her as she decides just how much she’s willing to risk to enlist.

As Virginia and Violette navigate resistance, their clandestine deeds come to a staggering halt when they are brought together at Ravensbrück concentration camp.

The decisions they make will change their lives, and the world, forever.

Excellent story

While difficult to read some of the detail about how the prisoners were treated in Ravensbrueck and other concentration camps, the story was excellent. I wept a couple of times reading the story thinking about man’s inhumanity to man. I appreciated the authors notes at the end authenticating a lot of the story. It was obviously a work of fiction but based a great deal on fact. How are you I hate you good girl. I will look for more of Erica Robuck’s novels in the future.

Gripping story of courage by two amazing women in WWII

These two women, Violette and Vivian who served in the War effort in different ways and ended up being captured and enprisoned in together, first in Paris and then in Ravensbrück, the infamous Women’s Camp. Well written, and brought to life in Audio Book format, which I listened to while traveling to and from the VA medical clinic and hospital located 4 hours round trip from my rural home. This is the second novel about WWII that I have read and in between, I have studied that particular Death Camp in the non-fiction genre. The women who survived truly were courageous, as were the women who perished after a miserable end to their lives. I was riveted the entire time I listened to this story. Highly recommend!
