Benedetta Carlessimo
is no stranger to hardship. Ever since her mother died, the sixteen-year-old Italian
girl has cared for her rambunctious younger siblings without complaint. Then
World War II arrives on her doorstep, leaving her face-to-face with the most
terrible evil she has ever witnessed.
With the Germans
and Americans fighting furiously to control a strategic swath of Italy, Nazi
forces seize Benedetta’s village, turning her home into a command center—and
forcing her beloved father to choose between fleeing or fighting on the front
lines.
In the midst of
great deprivation, Benedetta struggles to feed both her family and the Nazis, all
the while keeping her father’s whereabouts secret. Yet her blossoming love for
a handsome young Italian man hiding in the mountains brings a sliver of joy to
her life. But with the Americans advancing and the Germans growing increasingly
desperate and cruel, Benedetta knows that one misstep could bring horrible
repercussions . . . and only an extraordinary act of courage can save her
family.
