Follow your favorite Historical Fiction heroines on my post “The Storied Sisters Society" most Wednesdays. For lovers of "The Correspondent," look for my woman's epistolary novel "Dear Missing Friend" coming from Sea Crow Press next May.

To celebrate Jennifer Chiaverini's upcoming book, "The Patchwork Players," I have chosen her heroine, Grace, of "The Switchboard Sisters" for this meeting of the Storied Sisters Society.

I enjoyed The Keeper of Hidden Books more, The Librarian Spy was also a great book. Inspired by true events, it follows the stories of 2 women that use their talents to fight against the Nazis in WWII. As the war continues and their lives are torn apart, their mission and stories intertwine.
