Book Synopsis Red Daughters in a Foreign Spotlight by : Marleen Rita Duckhorn
Download or read book Red Daughters in a Foreign Spotlight written by Marleen Rita Duckhorn and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-09-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Daughters in a Foreign Spotlight (Published November 22, 2008), is Marleen Rita Duckhorn's first published book. It is a collection of poems in which she delivers a plethora of worldly and lighthearted topics, with just enough humor to be wistful yet amusing with the turn of every page. BOOK REVIEWS One thing to be said about Duckhorn's poetry; readers get value for their money. Duckhorn clearly owes much to Emily Dickinson, another woman known for filling books to the brim with brief pieces. Sometimes, the poet has a fantastic ear for pregnant-though mundane-symbols, as illustrated in "The Net Weight of the Chess Set." She often seems to have a real knack for phrasing, as with the quick sketch "Who Can Master?": "Who can chortle in the midst of turmoil / Whose open heart be so driven / Bend down and kiss the good earth / And stay happy when shelter's not given?" --Kirkus Discoveries

Book Synopsis Mother Daughter Traitor Spy by : Susan Elia MacNeal
Download or read book Mother Daughter Traitor Spy written by Susan Elia MacNeal and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series comes a tantalizing standalone novel inspired by a real-life mother-daughter duo who stumble upon an underground Nazi cell in Los Angeles during the early days of World War II—and find the courage to go undercover. “Stirring . . . Susan Elia MacNeal’s page-turning prose is as entertaining as ever—I was riveted from beginning to end.”—Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network June 1940. France has fallen to the Nazis, and Britain may be next—but to many Americans, the war is something happening “over there.” Veronica Grace has just graduated from college; she and her mother, Violet, are looking for a fresh start in sunny Los Angeles. After a blunder cost her a prestigious career opportunity in New York, Veronica is relieved to take a typing job in L.A.—only to realize that she’s working for one of the area’s most vicious propagandists. Overnight, Veronica is exposed to the dark underbelly of her new home, where German Nazis are recruiting Americans for their devastating campaign. After the FBI dismisses the Graces’ concerns, Veronica and Violet decide to call on an old friend, who introduces them to L.A.’s anti-Nazi spymaster. At once, the women go undercover to gather enough information about the California Reich to take to the authorities. But as the news of Pearl Harbor ripples through the United States, and President Roosevelt declares war, the Grace women realize that the plots they’re investigating are far more sinister than they feared—and even a single misstep could cost them everything. Inspired by the real mother-daughter spy duo who foiled Nazi plots in Los Angeles during WWII, Mother Daughter Traitor Spy is a powerful portrait of family, duty, and deception that raises timeless questions about America—and what it means to have courage in the face of terror.

But one sunny day in July, when she was six years old, gendarmes marching and shouting in the streets stopped her dreamy childhood and her hopes to go to school and to be a big girl like her sister. She was deported together with her mother and the whole of the Jewish community of Mihaileni, Romania. On foot, through icy fields, they arrived in eastern Ukraine, a strip of land called Transnistria. Death, illness, brutality, shame, became her daily scenes. Sophica suffered hunger and fear but kept her hopes and sanity, albeit losing her sister and her father and witnessing her mother being viciously attacked. She survived Typhus and starvation by being strong and quiet. Herman was a jolly little boy who didn’t care much needing to wear the yellow star and being forbidden from school. He continued playing outside with his friends while his father and brother were sent to a labor camp. At the age of 14, when the Second World War ended, he joined a Jewish youth movement and embarked on a ship to the Promised Land. However, their journey was interrupted and they were taken to a British detention camp in Cyprus. Sophica and Herman were given new names, Shulamit and Tzvi. They met and made a home in Israel. Shulamit/Sophica never mentioned her sad childhood, but the essence of the past found its ways out. Sixty-five years after those events, her daughter comes across a family secret and starts asking questions, inducing Shulamit to break her silence and become again the frightened little Sophica. This book tells her moving childhood story.
