“This literary work is fiction, but the facts are real, and shape a world I have not experienced in other WWII accounts. The author uses the direct first person to connect readers with Ingrid, a heroine whose complexities and courage are enhanced by the secret fears she shares with you. This book stays in the forefront of your imagination every second you are away from it. Taking care of mundane chores, loving your children, and putting away groceries become privileges. You bless everyone in your family with gratitude while you reflect on the horrible quandary Ingrid faces, as did those who lived through the Holocaust and French Occupation. Ingrid becomes a friend and role model. Sometimes you want to shake her and other times you want to defend her, but you always admire her fortitude. The Résistance Between Us is an excellent example of how literary fiction at its best reveals a higher truth.”
Elizabeth Hurd, Special Correspondent, The Daily Oklahoman, www.okartsceneandhurd.com
“Ingrid’s thrilling story is a scary ride, expressed sharply as she maneuvers herself and her life forward creatively, using her education and high-born class. Sensing her destiny she hides much muscle behind her mirror.”
Karen Krause, artist, photographer, NYC
“In The Résistance Between Us, the reader is immediately drawn into the scene and mindset of its main character, Ingrid Fellner. The textures, smells, and nuances of her surroundings are palpable. One becomes caught up with this woman and what she faces moment by moment as her journey unfolds. Like a canvas where each brushstroke has its place for the painting to succeed, each word, phrase, and chapter of this historical novel is carefully placed and layered to create a truly beautiful literary work of art.”

“It was a great read. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a book this much. I did not want to put it down. Historical fiction is something I always love. The characters came alive in my mind. I was right there with Ingrid during WWII. The depth was real and passionate. The twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing and hoping things would turn out well for Ingrid and her daughter. Like so many women she gave completely of herself out of pure love . . . a courageous woman in a horrific time in our history.”
Shelby McGuire, Myrtle Beach, SC
“An exciting journey of personal growth and sacrifice as well as a raw look into the French Résistance. This read prompted memories of my dad’s stories of his military experience—captured in France and sent to a German POW camp with Russian soldiers in WWII.” Michael Mooney, Pinckney, MI “The Résistance Between Us resonates with our desire to be part of something greater than ourselves. Ingrid’s saga was deeply introspective for me . . . a much-needed eye opener about WWII and its stark reality for my parents’ generation.”
Nancy Mooney, Pinckney, MI
“A gripping story of a French World War II heroine who hid Jews in her basement who were en route to safety. The story unfolds in such vivid detail that the reader can almost see and feel the action firsthand, and the characters come alive on each page. The dialogue is filled with historically accurate facts and covers the gamut of human emotion and experience. I couldn’t put this book down! It is historical fiction at its best, and so brilliantly written.”
Grace Schuler, Personnel Consultant and Entrepreneur, Philadelphia, PA
