'Extraordinary... a luminous portrait of survival and a powerful reminder of the light that can be found in humanity's darkest hours' Ellie Midwood, bestselling and award-winning author of The Girl Who Escaped From Auschwitz
'Unforgettable. Renée's deeply moving memoir is a powerful testament to human resilience and survival. A must-read!' Claire Hubbard-Hall, author of Her Secret Service
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank meets The Last Secret Agent by Pippa Latour in this extraordinary story of a Jewish girl trying to save herself, her family, and members of the Jewish community from Nazi capture during the Holocaust.
When her hometown of Berlin falls under Nazi rule, Ruth takes her younger sister and boards a train bound for safety. But with the war progressing swiftly through Europe, they are soon forced to separate and Ruth finds herself joining the ranks of the secret French resistance.
Armed with a new identity and a burning desire to fight the forces that tore her family apart, Ruth becomes Renée. Under her new guise she impersonates a Gestapo member to save a baby from capture, is held and questioned by Nazis whilst delivering forged identification documents and smuggles Jewish children across the border into Switzerland. But even as she risks capture every day, the promise of ever being reunited with her family slips further and further away...
