A young small town girl finds herself in the shadowy world of WWII espionage~
Coming of age in the deep Depression, Bette faces a troubled world. Her parents have taken in Gretel, a Jewish girl her same age sent by her family from Nazi Germany. In the KKK South this is met with animosity. As she finishes high school, Bette falls in love with a young man who applauds her family’s decision. The two become informally engaged and Bette dreams of a future as a wife and mother with him, clipping recipes and living the quiet life.
But Hitler and others who seek world domination interfere with her plans. As her fiance attends college in Georgetown, she works as a secretary in the War Department. And that job leads her into the murky world of espionage. The US, Canada and England have banded together to foil German spies working to gain American military secrets. Bette never considered being a spy even in her wildest dreams. But she will do anything to stop these enemies, those who are persecuting Gretel’s family. But after swearing an oath, she can tell no one–not even the man she loves.
The Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. War crashes over them all and again Bette and her fiance are separated. And another man enters her life, one who works with her to foil Hitler. A man she resists but who won’t take no for an answer. When the war ends, which will she choose–the young man she fell in love with as a girl or the man who taught her how to be a spy?
The Carlyle Women-four generations,
each facing the challenges of her time
and each harboring her own painful secret~

Now for Decembers question. I hope you aren’t bored by the saga of my two little kitty brothers, but they have definitely impacted our Christmas plans. I told my husband we don’t dare have a Christmas tree this year. They are climbers! Fortunately I have a small ceramic tree that lights up and that will have to do this Christmas. When I was a child, one of our cats decided that when the house was quiet and we were all asleep it was his chance—
TO CLIMB THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
He did it three nights in a row, tumbling the tree and crashing all the glass ornaments. The next morning my mother twisted a cup hook into the wall and tied a slender rope which she secured to the cuphook and the tree trunk. Problem solved; the cat continued to climb the tree but without incident. I don’t think this would work with our little boys since they would want to tear every ornament off and chew it around, chase it, throw it in the air and lose it. So do you have a pet Christmas story,? Please share yours. I will choose a few commenters and offer them a free ebook. I love animal stories!-Lyn
