Summary
This is the story of Bep Voskuijl, Anne Frank's closest friend during the 761 days she spent in the Secret Annex. Bep was just twenty-three when the Franks went into hiding and she risked her life to protect them. In those cramped quarters, Bep and Anne's friendship blossomed. While she was sharing meals with Anne Frank, Bep's sister Nelly was collaborating with the Nazis. We follow Bep after the war as she struggles to build a life in the shadow of her past, unable to get over losing Anne nor put to rest the horrifying suspicion that she had been betrayed by her own flesh and blood
