I Am You World War II Glitter Up the Dark tracesBy: Victoria Redel At eight years old, Gerta Pieters is forced to disguise herself as a boy and sent to work for a genteel Dutch family.

While Maria rises in the ranks of society as a painting prodigy, Gerta makes herself invaluable in every way: confidante, muse, lover.
