A BRAND NEW page-turning historical novel from the author of the Diary of a Country Nurse series. Fans of Amanda Lees, Siobhan Curham and Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale will love this sweeping, WWII story

She came to Paris searching for her past. As war descends, she must fight for her family’s future.

Paris, 1939. Nineteen-year-old Raymonde crosses the Atlantic hoping to find the French family she's never met. In Paris, she discovers a beloved grandfather and aunt, a family home filled with memories – and Elodie, the spirited cousin who quickly becomes like a sister.

At last, Ray knows where she belongs.

Then war comes to Europe.

As German troops occupy France, Ray and Elodie make a dangerous choice: they will fight back. Soon, they are risking arrest, torture - even death - to resist the Nazis; hiding those in danger, carrying secret messages, helping Allied airmen escape and undertaking increasingly perilous missions. They find strength in the courageous women around them, who will not surrender the people and the country they love without a fight. But how much must they endure? Can hope survive heartbreak?

Whatever happens, they are sisters, daughters and friends. They are the women of the Resistance.

An unforgettable story of family, sacrifice, resilience - and the love that can endure across generations.
