The Secret Stealers
Book Feature - The Secret Stealers by Jane Healey
HBL Note: I heard about Jane Healey’s last novel, The Beantown Girls, too late to get it on my blog schedule. But I so desperately wanted to read her next book that I immediately found her publicist, sent an email introducing myself, and requested that I be considered for a review copy of her next book. I mean, am I not the perfect audience for a WWII novel about an American-spy helping to liberate Nazi-occupied France. Yes, yes, this book is my jam! And lucky me, her publicist wrote back and not only agreed to a copy of The Secret Stealers…she also set up an interview with Jane Healey (so be sure to check that out, too!) Scroll down to read more.
Book Feature - The Secret Stealers by Jane Healey
From the publisher:
Anna Cavanaugh is a restless young widow and brilliant French teacher at a private school in Washington, DC. Everything changes when she’s recruited into the Office of Strategic Services by 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 organization’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.
Dispatched behind enemy lines and in constant danger, Anna is filled with adrenaline, passion, and fear. She’s driven to make a difference—for her country and for herself. Whatever the risk, she’s willing to take it to help liberate France from the shadows of occupation and to free herself from the shadows of her former life.
