Publisher's summary

Running for her life from the Nazis, Monique, a 17-year-old Jewish girl, escapes through the streets of Paris, searching for a place to hide.

In a dark basement deep within the city, Philip, a man of the Resistance, offers her a deal in order to save her life by changing her identity. In return, she needs to provide information about the Germans by becoming acquainted with them.

Torn between her feelings for Philip and her fear of Herr Ernest, a German officer who shows special interest in her, Monique steps deeper and deeper into the jaws of the Nazi beast. But with every day that passes, she knows that it is only a matter of time before she makes a mistake and becomes discovered by the Germans-the price for that being her life.

Through her own eyes, Monique tells of her efforts to survive within occupied Paris, torn between the cafes bustling with people and the poor citizens endlessly waiting in lines, food-ration stubs in hand. But above all, this is a story about a girl who has to fight for her freedom during those dark and dreadful days, fervently refusing to give up, while the German soldiers march through the streets of Paris, stomping the ground with their hobnailed boots.

Ok

The story had so much potential. I don’t know if it was the narrator or the story but the main character was so whiney and dramatic. The storyline made her seem dumb not like other strong women characters I have read in other books. It had and interesting storyline and ending. I’m not disappointed I read the book. It just wasn’t my favorite.
