Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. And when it takes me to a place I’ve never been, its even better. Living in Seattle, I am familiar with how women built the Boeing planes during World War II, but I didn’t think of them as impacting ship building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. She’s managed to tell the stories of three people within the book, showing the courage of women as well and the mob rule and its impact during the war. The afterword about how the story idea was born, from real people of the era makes the story even more enjoyable.
