RESIST by Tom Palmer
PAPERBACK
Author: Tom Palmer
Gripping, emotional, and inspired by real events, RESIST shines a powerful light on the bravery of ordinary people who dared to fight back during the Second World War. From award-winning author Tom Palmer comes a moving story of courage, sacrifice, and resistance in Nazi-occupied Netherlands.
As war drags on, life for Dutch families becomes increasingly dangerous. Food is scarce, fear is everywhere, and arrest can come without warning. When Edda’s uncle is murdered and her brother is captured by the Germans, her world is shattered. Angry and heartbroken, Edda refuses to stand by while her country is torn apart.
But joining the resistance is terrifying - especially for a teenage girl. Each message carried, each secret hidden, and each act of defiance could cost her everything. As the risks grow higher, Edda must decide how far she’s willing to go to fight injustice and protect those she loves.
Inspired by the wartime childhood of Audrey Hepburn, Resist is a tense, deeply human story that shows how even the smallest acts of bravery can make a difference.
