Date Published: December 10, 2024

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

When bombs fall on Pearl Harbor, the trajectory of Faye Baxter’s midwestern life takes an unexpected detour. Her fiancé Steve Connor enlists in the Army, and Faye follows him to California for a spur-of-the-moment wedding just days before he ships out. 

Eager to contribute to the war effort, Faye joins the workforce in San Francisco, a city awash with jobs, handsome soldiers, cheap cocktails, and nefarious secrets. When she is recruited to serve as a courier for a government intelligence agency, the assignment leads her into a web of misogyny, deception, and espionage. 

Will she learn to trust her instincts, value her own opinions, and raise her voice against injustice? Or are the risks too great?

Review

There is a lot packed into this fast-paced book.

One of the unique aspects of the novel that I particularly enjoyed was the expansive storyline, you get backstory but you also get to be right there with Faye during a difficult time in the world.

Through Faye's journey, readers are not only immersed in wartime but also a woman's life during that time.

A heart-wrenching, compelling story, beautifully written. the story was well-paced, the author didn't sugarcoat the time or the atmosphere.
