Book Synopsis



Inspired by the incredible true story of how the people of Denmark saved their Jewish neighbours during World War II

Helsingør, Denmark, 1943

In the midst of the German occupation during World War II, Inger Bredahl joins the underground resistance and risks her life to save members of Denmark's Jewish community and help them escape to Sweden.

Copenhagen, 2018

Inger's granddaughter, Cecilie Lund, is mourning her death when a mysterious discovery while cleaning out Inger's flat leads past and present to intersect. As long-held secrets finally see the light of day, Cecilie learns the story of her grandmother's courage and bravery, and of the power of friendship, love, and standing for what's right...even when you have everything to lose.

An inspiring tale of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community.
