Overview
In Nazi-occupied France, an American film star takes on the most dangerous role of her life in a gripping novel about loyalty and resistance, inspired by a true story, from the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Secret Stealers.
Paris, 1939. Hollywood actress Drue Leyton, married to Frenchman Jacques Tartière, lives as an expatriate in love. But when her husband is dispatched to Brittany to work as a liaison for the British military, Drue finds herself alone with her housekeeper, adrift and heartsick in her adopted city. With her career and fame forty-five hundred miles away, Drue accepts an opportunity that will change her life forever.
Befriended by seasoned wartime journalist Dorothy Thompson and urged on by political operative Jean Fraysse, Drue broadcasts radio programs to the United States. Her duty: shake America from its apathy and, as Nazis encroach and France is occupied, push for resistance and help from the US. As Drue and Jean fall under suspicion, Hitler sends his own message: when Drue’s adopted country is conquered, she will be executed.
In a Paris that is no longer safe, Drue’s political passion is ignited. She’s prepared to risk anything to fight the enemy no matter how dangerous it gets—for her, for everyone she loves, and for everything she’s fighting for.
Review
Drue Leyton is a famous American film star. She has recently married and moved to France. But, not long after her marriage, her husband is dispatched to work for the British military. This leaves Drue alone to her own devices. She ends up becoming a radio announcer. She trying to coax the USA to join in the war. And now Drue has received word she has a death threat…from Hitler!
Being the huge WWII fan that I am, I was very much surprised that I had never heard of Drue. So, this book is fascinating for me on so many levels. Drue is an amazing lady. And trust me, she is not dumb! She outsmarts the Nazis on just about every turn!
This story is fast paced and intense in all the right places! It took me on a wild ride for sure!
Need a wonderful novel about a real person…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!
