"From the moment when the German Panzer divisions rolled relentlessly across Holland a hidden struggle began that was to continue day after day during all the long years of war. This is a young Dutch girl's own story of her part in that struggle. She tells how at first she was allowed only brief and tantalizing glimpses of underground resistance. Carefully keeping all her activities secret even in her own home, she gradually learned to forge documents, to pass on messages, to invent disguises and to conceal meeting places. Soon her courage and enterprise marked her out as a natural leader and through all hazards and hardships her youthful audacity never flagged. From Theo van Duren's intimate account we learn what it feels like to live in an occupied country." —Book jacket
