Catarina
is an observer, an appeaser, and a solution seeker but when parachutes fall from the sky, everything changes. In her seaside village, Catarina can no longer find solace on the long stretches of sandy beaches and on the meandering protected paths through the Dutch dunes. When Marco, the love of her life, asks her to play a minor role as a courier, she is thrust into a position of danger. No longer able to remain on the margins, Catarina is drawn into the war by her fiancé's participation in the resistance and her brother's failed attempts to join the allies.
In a world turned upside down, Catarina must draw on past events and people who have shaped her to steer through the grey mist of choices. The journey is about more than just surviving, it's about navigating a complex moral landscape and finding strength in herself that she didn't know she had.
