In this true love story that defies all odds, Josefine Lobnik, a Yugoslav partisan heroine, and Bruce Murray, a New Zealand soldier, discover love in the midst of a brutal war.
In the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance encounter. One an underground resistance fighter, a bold young woman determined to vanquish the enemy occupiers; the other a prisoner of war, a man longing to escape the confines of the camp so he can battle again. A crumpled note passes between these two strangers, slipped through the wire of the compound, and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.

Woven through their tales of great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture, and retaliation is their remarkable love story that survived against all odds. This is an extraordinary account of two ordinary people who found love during the unimaginable hardships of Hitler’s barbaric regime as told by their son-in-law Doug Gold, who decided to tell their story from the moment he heard about their remarkable tale of bravery, resilience, and resistance.

“A retired broadcaster narrates the remarkable World War II romance between a Slovene resistance fighter and an Allied soldier from New Zealand. In his second book, Gold brings to life the events that brought together the man, Bruce Murray, and woman, Josefine Lobnik, who would become his father- and mother-in-law. His account reads much like a work of fiction. “Where the fundamental facts are known but the corroborating details uncertain,” he writes, “I have at times created circumstances to fit those facts and, where necessary, I have created events as they imagined them to be.” Even though the author deploys plenty of “dramatic license,” he provides two engaging, intertwining tales, each of which focuses on one of the two protagonists. …… Well-researched and pieced together, the book will appeal to fans of wartime love stories and resistance tales in general. A memorable and uplifting work.” — Kirkus Reviews,
