Marieka parked her bike next to the fence as Miss Remi opened the door, holding a cloth to her cheek. “Miss Remi, what happened? Where are your chickens and pig?” Miss Remi pulled Marieka inside and shut the door. “The Germans came. They said they had a right to confiscate the pig and chickens to feed their army. I protested, but one of them struck me.” Caught up in a war she doesn’t understand, sixteen-year-old Marieka Coevorden has been living peacefully in the Dutch countryside. With her friends and family at risk, Marieka wouldn’t dream of resisting the Germans. But everything changes when a wounded German soldier—a defector—needs her help.
