Young Anna Cavanaugh will go behind enemy lines to help the French Resistance. All though listed as Historical Fiction this book obviously had a lot of research behind it to make this not only an interesting novel but one in which you can learn more about history and WWII.
Anna is very driven to help with the resistance even though she will be in danger as a spy behind enemy lines. But Major General Donovan has faith in Anna and her friends in the organization and with his guidance they do the most they can do to help the resistance fight against their enemies.

It's June 1942 in Washington DC . I really liked Anna. I liked the description. I liked the dialogue

A female American spy in Nazi-occupied France finds purpose behind enemy lines. It was such a pleasure reading this book. Very emotional it realy touched the core of my heart.

An excellent book fraught with danger and peril as the heroine goes behind the enemy lines to help the French Resistance. It is obvious the author has done her research and given us, her readers, a novel she could be proud of. There are, at this time, many HF books on this subject, this one is above and beyond most. Recruited into the OSS by a family friend, will Anna Cavanaugh make a difference, will the risks she takes not only liberate France, but make a difference personally as her life goes forward? Though this book is listed as Historical Fiction, it is more than that. The research, extensive as it must have been, was so on point. This was a book I couldn't put down, it was an honor to read. More than that, it honored the brave people who put their lives at risk on a daily basis all in the name of freedom. As a fan of HF, my favorite genre, I couldn't ask for more than the talent of Jane Healy, who has given me "The Beantown Girls" and "The Saturday Evening Girls Club" all of which gave me hours of reading pleasure. Bravo!!!

My thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so clearly written and the story so credible and engaging that I had to double check it was fiction. The characters became real to me and the way they interacted was genuine in a way few books offer. The story itself was a fascinating perspective on war and how extreme circumstances can change us. I highly recommend this book to people who are interested in psychology as well as those who are just looking for an interesting and entertaining read.

I really enjoyed this book.
History, adventure, friendship and romance combine to make a great read.
Anna, a recently widowed American from a well-connected family, is bored in her teaching job. She is approached to join the OSS, America's equivalent of SOE. After working for the chief, General Donovan, in Washington DC, and taking part in a covert operation there, she asks to move to active service in France, where she studied for a year, becoming fluent in both French and German. After training in the UK, she is dropped into France to help the Resistance.
Working in Nazi-occupied Paris, she joins up with an old friend. They discover that not all Germans are Nazis, and learn who they can trust.
Will she survive the war? And will all her friends in the Resistance and beyond?
