OverviewJakob DeJonghe can think of nothing but revenge when the Nazis coerce his father into suicide and his little sister mysteriously disappears the day before Yom Kippur 1940. As conditions in Amsterdam worsen, Jakob is determined to fight back and be the master of his own destiny, just as his heroes the Maccabees did in ancient times. In November 1942, he feels his chance has finally come. Knowing it's now or never, Jakob seizes an opportunity to jump from a death train, severely breaking his foot as he lands. As he limps for his life towards a forest, he's found by four young resistance fighters and taken to a safe house. Though Jakob has been left with a permanent limp, he's still determined to defend his country and track down the men who killed his father. His dream comes true when he joins his new friends' resistance group after his seventeenth birthday, but after a chance meeting with a spirited young woman on one of his missions, he's jolted by emotions he thought he'd buried. As much as he tries to deny it, he can't stop thinking about her, even during the dark days of the brutal Hongerwinter. After he's recruited into the Princess Irene Brigade and made a real soldier, Jakob realizes his battle is only half-won. If he ever wants to survive a world that will never be ordinary again, love and not hate will have to carry him through. And if he finds his dream girl again, this painful readjustment just might be easier.
