Synopsis "Sewing Resistance: Seamstress, spy, survivor?: A gripping and emotional tale of courage, love and resistance set in Occupied Paris"

After witnessing the brutal nature of the Nazi regime, Hannah, a quiet Jewish girl with a rebellious streak, escapes Germany with her traumatised young son. Leaving behind her dreams, she seeks refuge in Paris with a childhood friend, Kat, in the hopes that this tie to her past will provide a desperately needed sanctuary for them both. Though reluctant because of her own precarious situation, Kat agrees to help. But when the war reaches Paris, Hannah's heritage once again puts them all at risk. Lacking the right papers, fleeing is out of the question. When Kat's Nazi cousin demands to move in, the family turn to a dangerous life of disguise and subterfuge just to stay alive.In Occupied Paris, they are the invisible, unseen and unheard, until an opportunity to resist appears. Will Hannah have the courage to find her voice and rebel, even if it means risking her heart, her family and her dreams? And how far will Kat go to take back what's rightfully hers? For fans of "The Nightingale" and "All the Light We Cannot See," this historical suspense novel takes readers on a journey through the Occupation, re-imagining well-known figures such as Coco Chanel and her Nazi lover, the staff of the Ritz Hotel, as well as the brave individuals who worked for the Resistance and the SOE. Inspired by true stories and the powerful film documenting Paris's liberation, "Sewing Resistance" is a gripping story of courage, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit.*** This book and its companion, a middle grade spy story 'Boy, Resisting', can be read as a standalone books OR as a buddy read with your child. The duology offers the chance to compare different aspects of living under Occupation and WW2. Both books pack an emotional punch with high-stakes adventure, but in an age-appropriate way, so readers of all ages can enjoy reading together. With the same setting, crossover chapters and characters, and similar plots, the books unlock differing perspectives on the secretive world of espionage, rebellion and resistance in Occupied Paris. Both books are written in the 1st person POV, so the reader is immersed in that character's perspective. Join Hannah and Freddie on a journey of discovery and danger, to the uplifting redemption which comes with liberation.***
