Description
A poignant and gripping memoir of a young boy's experience in the French Resistance during World War II. In the early years of the war, 14-year-old Stephen Grady finds himself at the forefront of a clandestine operation, collecting souvenirs from crashed planes and navigating the dangers of his new world. But when he and his friend Marcel are arrested and imprisoned, Stephen's life is forever changed. Recruited by the French Resistance at just 16, he is thrust into a world of espionage and sabotage, where the threat of betrayal is ever-present. Stephen's story is one of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. His experiences during the war have a lasting impact, earning him recognition and accolades that are still felt today.
