| Abstract | "One word cost lives--and could ruin hers. Seven months ago, Edda was on the World War I front lines as one of two hundred "Hello Girls," female switchboard operators employed by the US Army. She spent her nights memorizing secret connection codes to stay ahead of spying enemies, and her days connecting vital calls between platoons and bases and generals, all trying to survive--and win--a merciless war. Their lives were in Edda's hands, and one day, in fateful seconds, everything went wrong. Now Edda is back in Washington, DC, working as a telephone operator and trying to forget her time in France. But when she receives a cryptic phone call from a stranger who knows the fateful code word "Brightwood," Edda has no choice but to confront her past. With precious few clues and help only from Theo, a young man bearing his own WWI scars, Edda races to uncover what secrets may have followed her across the ocean. Breathless, haunting, and rich with historical detail, The Brightwood Code speaks to the depths of trauma, the power of memory, and the brutality of being a woman in a war built by men"-- Dust jacket flap. |
