    Adolf Hitler threatens Colonel Sir Edward Ware and Dora, Lady Ware, that if they do not hand over the Lawrence maps, key to world domination, he will kidnap their daughter. The late Lawrence of Arabia has drawn these maps for the British military to prepare for the next European War. Hitler guesses this, and wants to tip the scales in favor of Germany instead of England. Churchill, Edward's best friend, and the Colonel are running their own foreign policy under the noses of first Baldwin and then Neville Chamberlain and the British government. Tension does nothing but build through Nazi rallies, through the Munich Accords in 1938, but does not stop with the first shots fired after the Polish Invasion in 1939.

    March, 1935. Everything about sixteen-year-old Popi Kapsulis's life has changed thanks to the rumors of another Great War on the horizon. The Italian Forces have already closed the schools and churches on Popi's small Greek island of Kalymnos, forced her people to learn Italian, and are now burning businesses to the ground-all in an effort to rebuild the island they've come to occupy. Life has become unbearable and Popi can only think of one thing: freedom. When Popi joins the Resistance, she rallies other island girls and forms a secret knitting society. Her plan is simple: she and the other girls will spy on the Italian troops and knit the intel into doilies using Morse code. The doilies will then be passed on to the Resistance to decode and take action. Her plan has the power to change the course of history, and as Popi's espionage starts making a difference, freedom feels within her grasp. Until she meets Emmanuel. Falling in love with the enemy was not part of her plan. Neither was getting caught. Before Popi knows it, everything she loves-her family, her friends, her life, and the freedom she has fought so hard for-is suddenly hanging by a thread.
