Book summary: Writing
under a man’s name, Josephine Breaux is the finest reporter at Washington’s Morning
Clarion. Using her wit and charm, she never fails to get the scoop on the
latest Union and Confederate activities. But when a rival paper reveals
her true identity, accusations of treason fly. Despite her claims of loyalty to
the Union, she is arrested as a spy and traitor.
To Josephine’s surprise, she’s
whisked away to the White House, where she learns that President Lincoln
himself wishes to use her cunning and skill for a secret mission in New Orleans
that could hasten the end of the war. For Josephine, though, this mission
threatens to open old wounds and expose dangerous secrets. In the middle of the
most violent conflict the country has ever seen, can one woman overcome the
treacherous secrets of her past in order to secure her nation’s future?
