Two forbidden loves. One deadly secret. Hundreds of lives in her hands.
Nazi boots thunder up the stairs. Sophie pulls Hannah close, covering the three-year-old's mouth. The child calls her "Mommy," but Sophie isn't her mother. She's the Jewish forger who gave her a new name. A chance to survive.
In occupied Amsterdam, Sophie has become invisible, a librarian who officially no longer exists. By candlelight, her artist's hands create the documents that smuggle children past the Gestapo. One slip of the pen means death.
But Sophie hides more than forged papers.
She's falling for Marika, her fierce Dutch resistance partner. But when Michael, a British intelligence agent from her past, returns with a dangerous mission, Sophie is caught between desire and betrayal.
As Colonel Zoller hunts "The Librarian" with obsessive precision, Sophie faces an unthinkable choice: save the child she loves, or protect the network that saves hundreds.
Sixty years later, Sophie's daughter discovers a hidden satchel, and the mother she thought she knew becomes a stranger.
Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Alice Network, and All the Light We Cannot See.
