About the book

Truus Oversteegen, her younger sister Freddie, and their friend Hannie Schaft, were just teenagers when the commander of The Dutch Royal Army surrendered to the Nazis. As the German-controlled government slowly began to pen in the entire Jewish community and force them indoors, so the girls were compelled to become involved in The Resistance. With each initiative, the danger became more pronounced. Soon they were called on for bigger, deadlier jobs: Ferrying Jewish children to safeguard locations. Stockpiling weapons. Detonating bombs. Intelligence-gathering. Spying. Sabotage. Murder.
