About this book

"Laced with heartbreak, drama and thrills...Marvelously readable."**--THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER** **It's 1940, and Linda Voss, legal secretary extraordinaire, has a secret; she's in love with her boss the pride of the Ivy League, John Berringer.** Not that he'd take a second look at her, a German-Jewish girl from Queens who spends her time taking care of her faded beauty of a mother, and following the news of the war that is about to engulf Europe. **How Linda wins and loses her man, puts her life on the line for her beliefs, and finally gets the man she deserved all along** is the story that only Susan Isaac's, author of the acclaimed bestseller Almost Paradise, can tell. It is a novel about love and its limits about honor and the sacrifices it demands about a remarkable woman who wisecracks her way into heroism and history. ***The risks Linda Voss takes in life and love will give you chills, call forth tears, and have you cheering.*** As the San Francisco Chronicle proclaims. "Linda Voss is an irresistible heroine...She's exactly the bright and resourceful heroine we all feel we could be."
