How much would you risk for a love the world says is lost? In "The American Girl," bestselling author Eoin Dempsey delivers a breathtaking WWII thriller set on the beautiful, yet perilous, island of Jersey.
When Rose Morgan’s husband, a British pilot, is shot down over the German-occupied Channel Islands, she refuses to accept his death. Driven by a desperate hope, she infiltrates the island, stepping directly into the heart of enemy territory. To find him, she must play the most dangerous role of her life: a translator for the high-ranking Nazi officers who have turned the island into a fortress.
By day, Rose smiles and translates. By night, she risks the firing squad to funnel secrets to the resistance. It is a suffocating game of cat-and-mouse where one wrong word could be her last.
★★★★★ "I enjoyed this tale immensely. I am looking forward to the next in the series. I look forward to finding out about life during the rest of the war."
★★★★★ "This series is so exceptional it’s hard to describe. WWII in itself is such an anomaly to those of us who saw people later in life who had served and the hardships they endured. Maureen Ritter is such an original character that she captivates the mind. Having France as the backdrop enriches every scene. The most important part is that we have no concept about the reality of war and destruction and devastation on a daily basis for years. Eoin paints vivid imagery that will stick with you long after you finish one of his books. His writing is so solid, you will never forget it. So step back in time and go on the adventure of a lifetime."
★★★★★ "Hard to put down once you start reading. Love the characters and can't wait to see what happens next. Love the way this author writes. Will definitely be following him."
