The grip of Communism tightens around Romania in the fall of 1989. As neighboring Eastern European countries cast off their oppressive regimes, Adriana Nicu and her friends must navigate increasingly hostile living conditions, mandatory military training, and terrifying tactics from the secret police. Adriana draws courage to question her government and take a stand for freedom from the banned books she reads.

Adriana looks to her cousin Timotei and her new female professor for guidance, fueling her determination to persist despite the odds. She and her friends demonstrate true courage as they stand up for what is right, even when success seems unattainable. When the stakes rise, Adriana must decide-once and for all-what she believes about God and what price, if any, is too high to pay for freedom.

When heroes are needed, find the courage to take a stand.
