About the Book

The year is 1916. World War I has been consuming Europe for two years but the United States thus far has managed to stay on the sidelines. As the U.S. balances on the razor's edge of full scale involvement in the conflagration, 20-year-old Martha Pendleton teeters on the brink of an intensely personal conflict. As Europe descends further into the miasma of the world's first "modern war," Martha engages in an internal battle on numerous fronts - with a father who adamantly contends that a woman's place is in the home, with an unexpected job opportunity that puts her at odds with what many define as "ladylike," with conflicting emotions over two very different men, and - perhaps most contentious of all - with herself as she begins to challenge cultural norms that limit opportunities for an entire gender and questions the logic of a society that so narrowly defines "propriety." As the "splendid isolation" of the U.S. is broken and it takes its place on the world stage, Martha also finds her voice, her strength, and her destiny.
About the Author: Lorna Brockway Lieske is an award-winning educator who has taught American History and U.S. Government for more than 25 years. Although she'll tell you she found her calling in the classroom, Lorna has been a story-teller from childhood - spending summer evenings in Tucson, Arizona weaving tales with her sister for neighborhood adventures they billed as "Story-Come-True." Lorna's love of story-telling followed her into the classroom, where she has written educational short stories and plays for her students on topics ranging from the French and Indian War and Westward Expansion to the Bill of Rights, the U.S. legal system, and basic economics. Lorna lives in Michigan with the love of her life, her husband Richard, and their dog, an irrepressible Shiba Inu named Riley.
