If only he can persuade the members of the resistance that he can be trusted, no mission will be too dangerous. Despite his love for his father, Johannes will do anything to prove his loyalty to his friends and his country.Based on historical facts, A Time to Choose is a novel about sacrifice and courage, love and betrayal, and about the difficult choices forced by difficult times.
