They must deal with hunger, illness, and the constant threat of discovery by the French soldiers. Along the way, Marianne meets a young Tyrolean man named Andreas, who becomes her friend and confidant.As the war continues, Marianne and her family become involved in the Tyrolean rebellion against the French. They join forces with other villagers to fight for their freedom and independence.
