Insight into the lives of German women in the resistanceh

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It held my attention from start to finish. It brought out plainly that not all German people fell under Hilter's spell and were willing to put their lives on the line. The descriptions of the day to day lives and how extremely careful they had to be made you fell like you knew what they were living through while the rest of the world was oblivious to the reality they were experiencing. I did sometimes get the characters mixed up but not enough to bother me. It was a story that needed to be told. The strong belief that they held to that they loved their country enough to put their life on the line. Hated for the book to end.

One of the best books I have ever read

This is a gripping story about one of the most terrifying periods in history - the rise of Adolf Hitler. It follows some historical women and men that did their best to end the Reich at great personal risk to themselves and their loved ones. It's a story of great courage, and how some people will do the right thing no matter how daunting it may be. Be prepared to think a lot about the story even when you're not reading it.
