Nancy Wake, nicknamed 'the white mouse' for her ability to evade capture, tells her own story. As the Gestapo's most wanted person, and one of the most highly decorated servicewomen of the war, it's a story worth telling. After living and working in Paris in the 1930's, Nancy married a wealthy Frenchman and settled in Marseilles. Her idyllic new life was ended by World War II and the invasion of France. Her life shattered, Nancy joined the French resistance and, later, began work with an escape-route network for allied soldiers. Eventually Nancy had to escape from France herself to avoid capture by the Gestapo. In London she trained with the Special Operations Executive as a secret agent and saboteur before parachuting back into France. Nancy became a leading figure in the Maquis of the Auvergne district, in charge of finance and obtaining arms, and helped to forge the Maquis into a superb fighting force. During her lifetime, Nancy Wake was hailed as a legend. Her autobiography recounts her extraordinary wartime experiences in her own words.

The gripping true story of the woman who became the Gestapo's most wanted spy In the early 1930s, Nancy Wake was a young woman enjoying a bohemian life in Paris. By the end of the Second World War, she was the Gestapo's most wanted person. As a naïve, young journalist, Nancy Wake witnessed a horrific scene of Nazi violence in a Viennese street. From that moment, she declared that she would do everything in her power to rid Europe of the Nazis. What began as a courier job here and there became a highly successful escape network for Allied soldiers, perfectly camouflaged by Nancy's high-society life in Marseille. Her network was soon so successful - and so notorious - that she was forced to flee France to escape the Gestapo, who had dubbed her "the white mouse" for her knack of slipping through its traps. But Nancy was a passionate enemy of the Nazis and refused to stay away. Supplying weapons and training members of a powerful underground fighting force, organising Allied parachute drops, cycling four hundred kilometres across a mountain range to find a new transmitting radio - nothing seemed too difficult in her fight against the Nazis. Peter FitzSimons reveals Nancy Wake's compelling story, a tale of an ordinary woman doing extraordinary things. For fans of A Woman of No Importance and Code Name: Lise comes the true story behind the historical fiction novels Code Name Helène and Liberation.

The story is about a young girl, Nancy, who grows up in a large family, her mother teaching her all the things to be done in the home because she had arthritis real bad and wanted her daughter to know how to take care of a family. Because of an accident, her mother passed away when Nancy was only 12 years of age. Nancy, then had to take care of her family. She was the oldest girl and her sisters were younger. Her Father was a farmer, with livestock, a lot of land, with crops that had to be planted and harvested with the help of many hired hands. Nancy cooked 3 meals a day for everyone, washed the dishes, cleaned house, raised a garden, washed the clothes by hand, ironing, in those days they had to do their own sewing, and many other chores. (Without all the conveniences of today of electricity and automatic machines.) Nancy married at age 17 to Ira Duff. They began a family...and then they had a tragedy happen. She stayed by her man, through the good times and the not so good times. They were separated for awhile, but distance could not keep them apart. They moved many times to avoid the tragic outcome of an incident. Nancy and Ira had sixteen (16) children and were married for more than fifty-five years. Nancy lived a long life of 94 years. This is their story... It is the author's desire that you will appreciate the life of a young woman and man beginning a very full life and the many obstacles that came with trying to raise a family, make a living and having something that just won't go away that they had to deal with it for eleven long years. You must read the novel to see how they survived the many trials. Their Love, Faith, and Courage to keep going one day at a time. You will laugh, cry and maybe get mad when you read this novel. You won't want to put it down...

A stunning debut novel about living, loving and family life Nancy may have died but her fractured family still turns to her for guidance. When ex-daughter-in-law and single mum, Nina, takes her two boys camping in France, her plan is to ‘find herself’. Her journey is one many readers will relate to and they may find they learn as much about themselves as the very varied and lively characters that Carolyn Lewis has created. Jonathan knows that his mum's relaxed attitude to mothering infuriates Frank, his granddad, and he tries to be the buffer between them. But Nina’s problems with Frank go deeper, she knows the true state of Frank and Nancy’s marriage before she died. Determined to make sense of what she’s doing with her life, Nina embarks on a spur of the moment camping holiday in France, which makes Frank more convinced than ever that she is incapable of looking after his grandson. Throughout the holiday, Jonathan telephones his granddad to tell him of their exploits, except for the one fateful evening when he goes missing. Nina, Frank and Jonathan continue to talk to Nancy. She remains at the centre of their lives, and, instinctively, they know what she expects of them.
