Publisher's Synopsis
Anna Cavanaugh is a restless young widow and brilliant French teacher at an all-girls school in Washington, DC. Everything changes when she's recruited into the Office of Strategic Services by a family friend and legendary WWI hero Major General William Donovan. Donovan has faith in her and in all his 'glorious amateurs' who are becoming Anna's fast friends - Maggie, Anna's down-to-earth mentor; Irene, who's struggling to find support from her husband for her clandestine life and Julia, a cheerful OSS liaison. But the more Anna learns about the organisation's secret missions, the more she longs to be stationed abroad. Then comes the opportunity - go undercover as a spy in the French Resistance to help steal critical intelligence that could ultimately turn the tide of the war.
