In a memoir that, according to Joyce Carol Oates, “moves
with the dramatic and moral urgency of a Graham Greene
novel,” a daughter uncovers her father’s surprising history
as a spy during World War II. Author Lucinda Franks, the
first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for national
reporting, applies all her journalist skill to an
investigation of
her father’s identity and her family’s past in MY FATHER’S
SECRET WAR: A Memoir.
Join Franks as she tells the true story of how she discovered her father’s clandestine role throughout the war, including his visit to a concentration camp, his collaborations with Marines on the island of Emirau, and his wartime stints in Washington, D.C. and California. A book signing will follow.
