1946, Manhattan.
Grace Healy is rebuilding her life after losing her husband
during the war. One morning while passing through Grand
Central Terminal on her way to work, she finds an abandoned
suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Unable to resist her own
curiosity, Grace opens the suitcase, where she discovers a
dozen photographs--each of a different woman. In a moment of
impulse, Grace takes the photographs and quickly leaves the
station.
Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman
named Eleanor Trigg, leader of a ring of female secret
agents who were deployed out of London during the war.
Twelve of these women were sent to Occupied Europe as
couriers and radio operators to aid the resistance, but they
never returned home--their fates a mystery. Setting out to
learn the truth behind the women in the photographs, Grace
finds herself drawn to a young mother-turned-agent named
Marie, whose daring mission overseas reveals a remarkable
story of friendship, valor, and betrayal.
Vividly rendered and inspired by true events, New York
Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff shines the light on
the incredible heroics of the brave women of the war, and
weaves a mesmerizing tale of courage, sisterhood, and the
great strength of women to survive in the hardest of
circumstances.
