'During the German occupation of France, Suzanne Spaak displayed almost super-human courage, setting up an elaborate network to save Jewish children while working with numerous resistance groups. Anne Nelson has written an extraordinary book that finally does justice to Spaak's story of heroism and sacrifice.' Andrew Nagorski, author of The Nazi Hunters 'A riveting book about a truly heroic woman in a Paris of resignation and shame. A must read !' Diane von Furstenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman I Wanted to Be 'At a time when we most need heroes, Anne Nelson gives us Suzanne Spaak, an undiscovered heroine of the French Resistance.' Kati Marton, New York Times bestselling author of True Believer and Enemies of the People 'One person of courage can make a difference. But, as Nelson's gripping book shows, doing the right thing can also come at a price.' Alan Riding, author of And the Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris
