Susan and Vera are sent to a convent to hide from the Nazis; there they learn the true meaning of courage, thanks to the nuns who risk their lives to conceal the girls. But when German soldiers arrive in the middle of the night, will Susan and Vera be kept safe from the enemy at the gates? Historical notes and photographs illuminate the story and educate young readers about what life was like during World War II.
