Twins Antonina and Helena Dabrowska were only eighteen years old in 1939 when their father, their only living parent, was called back into military service. The day following his departure Germany invaded Poland. Their lives, their city, everything changed, and over the next more than five years, so did the sisters. Each in their own way became resisters, toiling against those who would see the destruction of the Jews and steal the independence of the Poles, killing so many along the way. This is a story of having the courage to do what is right in the face of tremendous danger and significant loss. May Antonina and Helena be inspirations to us all. Amanda Barratt's writing certainly makes them real enough to be that inspiration.
