Overview

The spring of 1944, D-Day approaches, but will the Allies be successful? To swing the odds in their favor, Renard, the recalcitrant Jesuit leader of a hardened Resistance band, is thrown into an uninvited, chaotic working relationship with one of Churchill's notorious special agents, a woman code-named Crow. A young boy-shy, courageous Martin, whose father supports the occupying Reich and not a free France-soon becomes an unlikely ally to both agent and Resister. We Chose Resistance takes readers into the heart of rural France during wartime, where a courageous and poorly armed volunteer ""army"" stubbornly defies the occupying enemy each day to win back France. But victory and betrayal go hand in hand, and a price will be paid. Friendships will realign, and long-held beliefs will be thrown aside. Vive la Rèsistance.
