Unexpected developments bring the mothers together, but their potential for true friendship becomes compromised when their identities surface. They are confronted with dangerous consequences that could harm not only them but also their daughters.

Following We Shall Not Shatter, book 1 of the Resilient Women of WWII Trilogy, this captivating story of friendship questions whether two mothers, striving to ensure their children's future, can overcome the issues of religion and heritage that could lead the Nazis right to their doorstep.
