"Pauline, or Pearl, Witherington, was a special ops agent for the British government during World War II. Her story tells of a poor childhood during World War I, leading up to her familys escape from German-occupied France in 1940. Pearl had already met and fallen in love with Herve Larroque, who was the older brother of a childhood friend. They intended to marry, but Larroque was recruited into the military, and during World War II, Pearl rarely saw him. Pearl started her military career as an assistant to the director of the Allied Air Forces but was soon recruited to help the French resistance. Her story spans countries and years, detailing the parachute drops and battles in which she was involved, all the while giving solid background about the events of the war and the inner workings of the French resistance."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA).
