A BOOK BASED ON TRUE EVENTS TELLS THE STORY OF WOMEN WHO FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM AS DETERMINEDLY AND BRAVELY AS MEN.
Lizzie Thorton moved from England to Tuscany just before the war and is happy as a teacher to the eight-year-old son of Count Antonio de Falco, even though he is increasingly showing himself to be a devoted fascist and supporter of Mussolini.
Then war is declared, and Lizzie is suddenly considered an enemy of the country she loves so much. When a new teacher, Vincenzo Baldini, arrives in the household, Lizzie discovers a new world; Vincenzo is a member of the Italian resistance, Lizzie joins them, and she also falls head over heels in love with Vincenzo.
Unexpectedly, however, a man she was once engaged to, whom she had long thought dead, reappears... and Lizzie must decide whether she has the strength to leave her old life behind and fight for what she truly loves and wants.
