From the USA Today bestselling author comes a gripping new
emotional WW2 historical novel. Inspired by a true story! ‘Easily
my favorite historical novel of the year If you love WWII fiction,
this is a must read’ Soraya M. Lane, Amazon Charts bestselling
author of Wives of War and The Last Correspondent Rumours of the
Nazis coming for Czech children swept through the villages like a
breeze through the trees, and the story was always the same… They
wanted our children to raise as their own Since her husband, Josef,
joined the Czech resistance three years ago, Anna Dankova has done
everything possible to keep her daughter, Ema, safe. But when
blonde haired, blue-eyed Ema is ripped from her mother’s arms in
the local marketplace by the dreaded Brown Sisters, nurses who were
dedicated to Hitler’s cause, Anna is forced to go to new extremes
to take back what the Nazis have stolen from her. Going undercover
as a devoted German subject eager to prove her worth to the Reich,
the former actress takes on a role of a lifetime to find and save
her daughter. But getting close to Ema is one thing. Convincing her
that the Germans are lying when they claim Anna stole her from her
true parents is another… ‘A powerful story told with humanity,
skill and empathy’ Kate Thompson, author of The Little Wartime

'We'd heard stories about the nurses in tent seven. A secret
mission, stolen money, and spies...' In 1944, four American nurses
disappeared for five days. No one knew what happened to them. Until
now. When Kit and Red set foot on French soil during the Normandy
landings, they know they have to rely on each other. As they head
for the battlefield, their aim is simple: save lives. But when
they're called away on a top-secret mission to patch up a few men
behind enemy lines, everything changes. Alongside fellow nurses,
Roxy and Gail, they're told to prepare for the worst, trading in
their nurses' fatigues for civilian clothes and hiding medical
supplies under their skirts. But it's a lie. Their real mission
tasks them with the impossible - to infiltrate the Reich and steal
something the Nazis desperately need to win their losing war. In an
ultimate test of courage and comradeship, each woman must decide
what she is prepared to risk and what she has to live for.

From the Campaign Trail or Thereabouts is the story of two
insulated Upper West Side journalists, Harold Carlyle, a
self-serving, incompetent reporter desperate to save both his
career and marriage, and his wife, Pattie, an observant,
sharp-tongued, and successful television critic. When Harold is
assigned to cover the 2016 Presidential Election, he devises a
scheme to save his marriage by taking Pattie with him across the
country. From the Campaign Trail or Thereabouts dives into the
contradictory, divided, and all-too-often unsettling state of the
union. Like Huck Finn meets Game Change, the novel examines the
politicians and popular figures who played starring roles in 2016
and holds up a mirror to the electorate that ultimately made
Trumpism possible.
