She must live a double life: One in front of her father's German customers, and one for the lives she is trying to save.

Will she stay true to what is right? Or will the pressure and secrets be too much to carry?
Set during WW2, this story follows Swiss citizen Valerie as she tries to help the Resistance smuggle people escaping from the Nazis. With the threat of discovery in their dangerous activities at all turns, author Dianne Haley writes a suspenseful and thrilling historical fiction. You are introduced to a wide variety of characters, each hiding their own secrets. Just like in those times, you are not sure who you can trust while reading this book. The courage and strength of those who stood up for what was right by doing things that could get them killed is truly amazing. I was invested in the journey Valerie and her companions took in this novel. This novel will have your emotions on a wild roller coaster! One thing I did not like was the quick ending.
