Despite her youth and her conservative father, Nicolette becomes involved with the French Resistance, until one day she is taken from the streets of Paris, submerged in the Nazi camps, brutalized, but determined to survive and bear witness to the atrocities she has witnessed. Includes historical note.
On May 10, 1940, the Nazis begin their march across Europe, and within weeks, France has fallen. At first, Nicolette's world seems more or less the same despite the occupation. But as the months pass, the Third Reich tightens its hold on France, and it becomes clear just what is at stake.
Nicolette is drawn into a growing resistance movement, determined to do her part to fight back. It's a deadly secret she'll have to keep from everyone, including her family. Nicolette's own father works for local law enforcement, which is now under Nazi control, and who knows what might happen if anyone found out she joined the Resistance.
But as Hitler's empire grows, no one can escape the horrors of warโincluding Nicolette. One night, she vanishes without a trace, taken from the street by Nazi soldiers and declared an enemy of the state.
Soon, Nicolette finds herself confronting the very heart of Hitler's plans, bearing witness not just to the atrocities, but also to the courage, bravery, and hope that can emerge in even the darkest times. And it is in these small but powerful moments that Nicolette realises her greatest weapon against the Nazis: to live, so she can tell the world the truth of what happened. But can one girl survive what was designed to destroy so many?
