Work Description
"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."
