Berlin, Germany 1932. In a time of political unrest and strife, one man finds the courage to fight back…Dr. Wilhem “Q” Quedlin, chemical engineer and inventor, lives for his science. A woman is not in his plans—nor is it to be accused of industrial espionage.But things get worse from there.Watching Hitler’s rise to power spurns his desire to avoid yet another war that will completely destroy … another war that will completely destroy his beloved country. Q makes the conscious decision to fight against what he knows is wrong, even if working against the Nazis could mean certain death for him— and anyone he loves.
Hilde Dremmer has vowed to never love again. But after encountering Q, she wants to give love a second chance.
When Q discloses his resistance plan, it’s up to Hilde to choose between her protected life without him or the constant threat of torture if she supports him in his fight against injustice.
She has witnessed enough of the Nazi government’s violent acts to be appalled by the new political power, but will this be enough for an ordinary girl to do the extraordinary and stand beside the man she loves in a time of total desolation?
This World War II spy story is based on the true events of one couple’s struggle for happiness while battling a war against their own leaders.
Book 1 spans the years 1932 thru 1936

I liked all three of these books
Inspiring true characters with great courage.
This book gave a good description of Pre-Nazi Germany. It is a trilogy and I may read further.
Can’t wait to read ‘ Unyielding’ the sequel
Avery well written look into life in Germany during Hitler’s rise to power. The tragedy of ever increasing loss of liberty and the cruelty of dictatorship is something we should keep foremost in our awareness so that we are motivated to be responsible and informed citizens who protect our civil liberties. I liked the fact that the characters and their dilemmas were drawn from real people who lived the experience.
Courage, bravery, intellect come in all sizes, both genders, any age where your life as you once knew it is no more. Blame? Recompense? Revenge? Brilliant plot development.
I really enjoyed this book.
This is the first book in a series written by the author.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this trilogy! I loved the characters and how they remained supportive of each other.
Good historical fiction. Provided an excellent perspective of the current events of the time. I knew what would happen in the big picture; this brought in down a day to day personal level I would like to read the next book in this series.
I liked that this was a true story and took place around WW2. You get to know real people and what occurred in their lives. I ended up ordering the entire series so I could hear their whole story.
The author wrote this story about her grandparents who were German citizen who chose to sabotage Hitler’s war efforts while in a civilian job. What a scary time to live in.
I loved it! It is a feel good story, even through sadness and loss. I love that it is so personal and connected to the author. It displays a very personal touch…a connected-ness that is rare in many newer writings.
This was a fabulous WWII story of the author’s grandparents, fictionalization in part. It took me to a time and place and I loved it
Very well done. Loved following the action and the characters.
Oh my gosh, I just finished book number three. Fantastic books. I will make sure I buy more of this author.
Well written. Wonderful character development. Very interesting story that made you feel like you were there. I really enjoy this author.
Interesting story.
Very well written and enjoyed this book a lot. Want to order the next in the series to see what happens next.
As a true story it increased my knowledge of the people of Germany just before WWII.
