by Andie Newton
At the end of the book, Marguerite says, ‘I wanted to fight the war with all my bones. Now my bones are all I have left.’ This statement is a testament to the incredible courage and relentless spirit that burned inside every member of the French Résistance, and inside so many women. Incredible to think about—to literally fight to the bone for what you believe in. And so many of them did.
Thank you for reading my book! I hope you enjoyed it.
Acknowledgements
I’m incredibly thankful to my talented editor, Hannah Smith. She’s a manuscript doctor, and one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with. Thank you to the incredibly talented team at Aria Fiction for the behind-the-scenes work they did to bring my novel out into the world. Thank you to my agent, Kate Nash, and her fabulous team at the Kate Nash Literary Agency for their constant support and guidance. I owe a lot to my critique partner, Paula Butterfield, who read various drafts of this novel many years ago and provided the best feedback. During my debut year, I discovered the most amazing writers’ group called the Renegades; I would be lost without your writing advice, support, and laughs! Thank you to my parents and sister who raved about this book long before it was acquired. Thank you to my husband, Matt, for being the most supportive human being alive, and to my two awesome kids, Zane and Drew, for listening to me talk about this book for more than half their lives.
