The Wolves at the Door by Judith L. Pearson


Great Book! Read it on the recommendation of a friend and thoroughly enjoyed the book. It is the true story of an America woman who worked with and helped organize elements of the french resistance in France during WWII. A quick read written for adults but I think most teenage girls would find Virginia Hall an exciting and interesting role model. Also shows how a person with what most of us would see as a handicap can excel beyond the expectations of an average "normal" person. Hero is often defined as an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. But sometimes a heroine is an extraordinary person who does extraordinary things.
