A young boy encounters a Japanese POW in a WW2 internment camp and experiences a culture vastly different to his own. He begins a journey involving three vastly different cultures and encounters the hardships of war. His simple world revolves around living with the animals and people of the river, into which the Japanese POW escapes, and a mutual trust and respect develops into a common set of values between three vastly different people, and the growth of a young boy into a man. With his friend, an elderly Indigenous man, and friend of his family, the three exchange secret cultural experiences, until the trio is broken by death and the end of the war. The basis of the friendship is mutual trust, and respect for the differences between them.

Resisting the Enemy follows the story of Valentine de Vaillant - known as Valli - from a twelve-year-old schoolgirl in Australia to a young woman living in German Occupied France. From the moment Valli joins a Resistance Group, she engages in a series of clandestine activities that at any moment could lead to arrest by the dreaded Gestapo. When a German Army officer is billeted at her grand-mother's villa, Valli's world is thrown into turmoil. How can she possibly reconcile her growing attraction to a German - a member of a brutal and oppressive regime - with her life as a French patriot and resistant? Resisting the Enemy is a thrilling story of conflict, danger and passion. A love between enemies that seems impossibly doomed. It moves from the beaches of Australia, to the boulevards of pre-war Paris, through the German invasion and the dark years of the Occupation. It is also about music and opera, the enduring bonds of friendship, and one young woman's fight to resist oppression, no matter what the odds.
