The Resistance Between Us is a tough, realistic account of a conscientious life ultimately well lived. "This is my time to honor unwanted guests," writes Ingrid de Vochard Fellner, "and pray for the day I can make them go home. Pardon my scorn, but these guests are the enemy. Not the Germans I grew up with, nor the man I married and lost. The enemy is a rigid, twisted, oddly obedient criminal lot everyone fears." She joins the French Resistance. She shields Jews in her basement while she entertains Nazis upstairs. Then she does all the things she said she never, ever would. Liberation comes at book's end. However, Ingrid stands alone in a courtroom, head shaved, tondue and pariah--charged with Treason. Neither Resistants nor her betrayers know the truth. What transpires spirals into a wild climax. Ingrid is left poised for a rough road to forgiveness in Book Two, and a passionate atonement in Book Three.
