The Woman with No Name

"You will feel like you know Yvonne Rudellat from the start. Rather than a superhero, she's an ordinary woman who makes extraordinary sacrifices for her country. A mother. A spy. A saboteur. Yvonne becomes who she needs to be in order to help her country during WWII. Her story is as fast-paced as it is well-researched. Authenticity shows itself on every page. It was a pleasure to read, as well as an education about the heroics of the French Resistance. I can't imagine a more heroic woman than Yvonne Rudellat, who exemplified the courage of so many men and women whose stories may never be told." -- Diane Hanks, author of The Woman With A Purple Heart
"An enthralling, based-on-truth story about a remarkable woman whose courage and determination to create a new, meaningful life at a time when she feels invisible to everyone, including her estranged husband and grown daughter, which is as heartrending as it is inspiring. Yvonne Rudellat was the first female SOE-trained agent in occupied France in WWII and the kind of independent, strongminded and daring person you'd want at your side. I cycled alongside her as she pedaled through the French countryside, held my breath as she learned to swim, fumed with her as she was compelled to prove her worth time and again, and rooted for her at every explosive turn. Rich in detail, action, and emotion, The Woman with No Name breathes life into the legacy of one of many women whose lives demand celebration. Bravo, Yvonne and Audrey Blake!" -- Penny Haw, author of The Invincible Miss Cust and The Woman at the Wheel
"Resilience, courage, and bravery outshine the enemy is this fast-paced, historical read." -- Booklist
