The thrilling, cinematic untold story of nine young women, WWII resistance fighters, captured by the Nazis, who launched a breathtakingly bold escape and found their way home.

'A compelling, beautifully written story of resilience, friendship and survival.' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of
Auschwitz
As the Second World War raged across Europe, and the Nazi regime tightened its reign of horror and oppression, nine
women, some still in their teens, joined the French and Dutch Resistance. Caught out in heroic acts against the brutal
occupiers, they were each tortured and sent east into Greater Germany to a concentration camp, where they formed a
powerful friendship. In 1945, as the war turned against Hitler, they were forced on a Death March, facing starvation and
almost certain death. Determined to survive, they made a bid for freedom, and so began one of the most breathtaking
tales of escape and resilience of the Second World War.
The author is the great-niece of one of the nine, and she interweaves their gripping flight across war-torn Europe with her
own detective work, uncovering the heart-stopping escape and survival of these heroes who fought fearlessly against
Nazi Germany and lived to tell the tale.
