a novel inspired by the women of D-Day
Five women's lives showcase the devastation of war and the consequences of their choices when D-Day arrives and they each must face what lies ahead. Mildred Gillars, "Axis Sally," forged a successful radio career as a Nazi propagandist, but now must face her treasonous actions; Theda, an aid worker for the queen, fights against sexism to forge a career for herself, even as she becomes overwhelmed with the number of injured and dead soldiers filling up her hospital; Emilia has used her looks to rise through the ranks of the Nazi regime to survive and now looks to betray them; Adelaide has only ever wanted to be a good mother, but recent estrangement from her daughter and German soldiers overtaking her home test her mettle; and Flora, a French resistance fighter, will do anything within her power to stop those she believes responsible for her parents' disappearance.
