A favorite book of mine is Mila 18 by Leon Uris which tells of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Because of that book I knew this book would intrigue me and it did.
Chaya has become a courier for the resistance. Her younger sister was taken, her brother has disappeared, and her parents have given up but she refuses to give in. Instead she smuggles weapons and food into the ghetto and tries to get people out or at least warn them about what is happening.
After her resistance cell is discovered Chaya meets up with another member who also escaped, Elizabeth, and together they make their way to Warsaw to make their final stand.
This was very good. There was a good friendship that developed between Chaya and Elizabeth. There were some surprises and lots of action plus a good deal of history.
