Publisher Description
Soon Chaya joins a resistance cell that runs raids on the Nazis' supplies. But after a mission goes terribly wrong, Chaya's network shatters. She is alone and unsure of where to go, until Esther, a member of her cell, finds her and delivers a message that chills Chaya to her core, and sends her on a journey toward an even larger uprising in the works -- in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Though the Jewish resistance never had much of a chance against the Nazis, they were determined to save as many lives as possible, and to live -- or die -- with honor.

“The story of Chaya Lindner’s defiance as part of a Jewish resistance group in Nazi-occupied Poland will grip those who listen to this action-packed historical fiction. Jesse Vilinsky’s narration features a commanding, rebellious tone as Chaya smuggles people from ghettos and terrorizes military targets. Vilinsky is also nimble enough to be tender and emotive when describing the horrific suffering of Chaya’s loved ones. The new recruit Ester’s initial naïveté and later act of self-sacrifice offer distinct vocal contrast with Chaya’s voice. Vilinsky’s pronunciations of Yiddish, German, and Polish words provide added richness to the setting. In the afterword, author Nielsen reads about the lives of real-life resistance fighters, adding a another level of depth to this engaging audiobook.”

Quotes

“Suspense mounts continually as Chaya survives her ordeals, gaining strength and faith in her mission. The courage and self-sacrifice of many characters is inspiring, but the book is unapologetically grim and violent, like the events it so persuasively depicts, and may not suit readers at the younger end of its stated range.”
