I struggled to get into it in the beginning but once the story got going, I was hooked. Always hard reading about this subject. I had to pause a few times just to reflect. The ending was a big twist for me and I was devastated. Well, the devastation really follows you all the way through I suppose.

“Men tell stories; women get on with it. For us, it was a shadow war. There were no parades for us when it was over, no medals or mentions in history books. We did what we had to during the war, and when it was over, we picked up the pieces and started our lives over.”
