History is made one brave act at a time. Henny has grown up with her fathers boat, the Gerda III, as a home away from home. She loves sailing the waters between Denmark and Sweden, carried along by the salt breeze. But when Nazi rule tightens in Copenhagen, Henny joins the resistance. And when Hitler orders the Gestapo to round up all Jewish citizens, Henny realizes that the Gerda III isnt just a boatits a means of escape for her Jewish neighbours. Safety and freedom are just across the channel in Swedenas long as Henny doesnt get caught. The fourth book in Kathy Kacers Heroes Quartet series, Call Across the Sea brings to life a little-known part of World War II and highlights the unsung acts of heroism that moved history forward.
