In 1942, with no end in sight to World War II, Odette Sansom, a mother of three, decides to follow her father's heroic example from World War I and becomes an SOE agent to help Britain and her beloved homeland, France. After five failed attempts and a plane crash, Odette finally lands in occupied France to begin her mission, where she meets her superior officer, Captain Peter Churchill. As they successfully complete mission after mission, Peter and Odette fall in love. But each success brings the enemy closer to their location, until the unthinkable happens: they are betrayed by another agent. Arrested and sent to prison in Paris, Odette is handed over to the Gestapo. Interrogated 14 times and subjected to torture, she never broke. Even when sent to the hell of the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany, she always believed she would survive to reunite with Peter. Larry Loftis introduces us to a woman whose actions and selflessness earned her the highest honors and recognition from a grateful nation.
