Based on real events, this novel relates the experiences of three German Mormon teenagers, narrator Rudi and his friends Helmuth and Karl, who listen to forbidden radio broadcasts and distribute anti-Nazi handbills. The teens are imprisoned and one sentenced to death in a story that suffers from a flat and distant prose style. An author's note provides additional information, and a time line is included.
