Nielsen inspires readers with a brand-new thriller      based on the remarkable true story of a young Polish girl who bravely      fought, participating in the Warsaw city uprising and took a      stand in the name of freedom.             Twelve-year-old Lidia is outside her grandfather's house when      planes fly overhead, bearing the Nazi cross on each wing. Before      the bombs hit the ground, Lidia realizes her life is about to change      forever. Poland has fallen under German occupation, and her father      makes the brave decision to join the Polish army to fight against      the Nazis. Lidia wants to follow him into war, but she's far      too young, and she's needed by her mother and brother.      After her family returns to Warsaw, where life has changed irrevocably,      Lidia continues to play the piano, finding comfort in Chopin,      Bach, and Beethoven. But she also wants to aid the Jewish      people held captive in the Warsaw Ghetto. With the help of a friend,      Lidia begins to smuggle wheat and food into the ghetto. Still,      she feels like she could be doing so much more. She wants to fight.      After her brother joins the resistance, Lidia wants only to      follow in his footsteps. Soon, she begins to work as a courier, smuggling      weapons and messages for the resistance throughout the city.      When the Warsaw city uprising begins – one year after the      more well-known Warsaw Ghetto uprising by Polish Jews – with      gunfire and bombs echoing throughout the streets, Lidia joins      the Polish nationalists’ fight, too, and she and her peers      fight with everything they’ve got. Life will continue to surprise      Lidia, as she and the resistance fighters do their best to      defeat the German soldiers. No matter the consequences, they’re      willing to defend their freedom and their homes from the Nazi      invaders – even with their lives.
