From the best selling author of CITY OF DREAMS and BRISTOL HOUSE, a story that races from 1890 to London during the Blitz. "Hello, America, this is Mollie Pride..."
It begins with an American heiress who thinks she's bartering her fortune for a title, except that nothing turns out as expected. Until, in the hectic days of flappers and dance marathons, The Fabulous Pride Family is playing two-bit carnies and scraping to stay alive. "Don't worry," Mollie's dad promises, "Easy Street is just a whistle-stop away." Seventeen years on, Mollie hasn't found Easy Street, only bit parts on popular radio shows, and a marriage that breaks her heart, but propels her across the Atlantic where her intrepid broadcasts from war-torn London are heard from Maine to Texas. In a world where the news is considered strictly a male preserve and a woman needs a man's signature to open a bank account, Mollie proves that spunk and determination can overcome pretty much anything. But while her broadcasts fascinate two continents, there's a secret no one suspects... terror and treason shadow Mollie's every word.
Beverly Swerling offers here more of her best-selling historical fiction, the riveting story of the role radio played in the great and terrible drama of WWII. Smart, savvy, and enriched with Swerling’s trademark historical accuracy as well as an intricately constructed plot, this is a page-turning romantic thriller sure to delight her many fans.
Mollie Pride is a Beverly Swerling Encore Edition, and is appearing for the first time as an E-book.
