Dykstra-Scholman brings us a tale of unlikely allies who must choose between following the patterns of the past or stitching together a future of their own making. Set during the Nazi occupation, the novel focuses on young Hilde, whose father’s warning echoes in her ears as she defies her family to join the underground resistance and keep the trust of the boy she loves. And Lady Astrid who tries to ignore the Nazis occupying her castle, but she can’t turn away from the mysterious refugee also living on her estate.
