Jeane Slone takes yet another overlooked page from World War II and gives it a human face through her main character, Kathleen Dwyer. Mixing lesser known military history, she brings a humanity to the women who served to help end the war by being spies and radio operators. At the same time, her fictional characters reveal the real history of the secret war that was waged to win the public war and the ways that many families sacrificed in this effort. In doing this, Slone reminds us that it was women who were the hidden backbone to make the Allies successful and who were World War II's real unsung heroes.
