1942: As Nazi occupation tightens its grip on France, one woman's courage and compassion lights the way in the darkest of times…

Once a bright medical student with a promising future, Sophie Bélanger now finds herself risking everything to save innocent children from deportation. When her courageous efforts attract the attention of the Gestapo, she is mistaken for her twin sister – a notorious resistance fighter – arrested and sent to Auschwitz.

There Sophie must summon unimaginable strength to survive the camp's brutality and to put her training and her compassion for others to good use. Despite unthinkable odds, Sophie clings to hope – for the innocent lives she strives to protect, for news of her missing sister.
Will they live to see each other again? Will she ever reclaim the future that was stolen from her?

Based on true events and real-life heroes, this incredible story of courage, sacrifice and resilience will stay with you long after the last page. A must-read for fans of The Nightingale and The Alice Network.
