The thrilling, cinematic untold story of nine young women, WWII resistance fighters, captured by the Nazis, who launched a breathless escape from a death march and found their way home. An account to the enormous acts of bravery which led to the capture of nine women French resistance fighters. Sent to Buchenwald, they were forced on a death march at the end of the war, from which they launched a daring escape, making it back to Allied lines. For too long the stories of courage from WWII have been about men – here is a story abut a group of women heroes who fought fearlessly against the Germans and lived to tell the tale.

The nine were ordinary women, some still in their teens, who joined the French and Dutch Resistance in the face of Nazi horror and oppression. Caught out in heroic acts against the brutal regime, they were each tortured and sent East to a forced labour camp, where they formed a powerful friendship, determined to survive, together. This harrowing interlude was only the beginning. In 1945, as the war turned against Germany, they were forced on a Death March, facing starvation and almost certain death. They saw a chance, fled, and so began one the most breath-taking tales of escape and resilience of WWII. The author is the great-niece of one of the nine, and their gripping flight across war-torn Europe is interwoven with her own detective work, as she uncovers the incredible escape and survival of the nine, creating a powerful, heart-stopping tribute to the power of humanity in the darkest of times.
