About this item
Based on true events, this gripping historical novel set in Norway and Sweden in 1940 follows Daisy Harriman, one of the first female US Ministers, and her niece Cleo Jaffray as they are unexpectedly caught up in the German invasion of Norway.
Cleo Jaffray, an American, believed a war in Europe had nothing to do with her. She maintained this until the man she loved went missing in Poland, forcing her to turn to her aunt Daisy, the US Minister to Norway, for help.
Daisy Harriman, unafraid of challenges—from canvassing for women’s suffrage to driving Red Cross ambulances in WWI—was determined to prove her worth as the second woman ambassador. When her disgraced, penniless niece Cleo arrives, desperate to find her lost lover, Daisy must balance her diplomatic duties with her familial obligations.
Their search for answers is abruptly interrupted by Germany’s invasion of Norway, thrusting them into a countryside quickly becoming a battleground. Amidst the chaos, Daisy is tasked with escorting the Norwegian Crown Princess and her children to America. Meanwhile, Cleo’s lover resurfaces with a suspicious story and dangerous enemies trailing him.
This riveting historical novel, based on the astounding life of Daisy Harriman and a real-life royal rescue, vividly captures a desperate time and a fearless heroine. Through Daisy and Cleo’s eyes, readers experience the tumultuous landscape of wartime Europe and the extraordinary lengths to which they go to protect their loved ones and fulfill their duties. ❤️📚❤️
