How far would you go to protect the people and country you love?
Ā
Itās 1940 and Hannie Schaft is a shy nineteen-year-old law student living in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands with ambitious goals for her future. But dreams die in wartime, and Hannieās closest friends are no longer safe as fascism insidiously rises in her country. Hiding them is not enough. Hannie may be young, but she canāt stand aside as the menace of Nazi evil tightens its grip. Driven by love and moral outrage, Hannie soon becomes an armed member of the Dutch Resistance movement.
Hannie discovers her untapped ferocityāwearing lipstick and heels to lure powerful Nazis close and assassinate them at point-blank range and bombing munitions factories. As humanity collapses around her, Hannie finds a chosen family of friends within the Resistance and falls in love with a dashing fellow resister at a tremendous cost. Her greatest weapon is her determination to "stay human" (blijf menselijk) . . . a promise increasingly difficult to keep.Ā
