Two women. One secret. A truth worth fighting for. 1918. Timid and shy Emmaline Balakin lives more in books than her own life.

Kathleen Carre is eager to prove to herself and to her nana that she deserves her acceptance into the first class to include women at the U. S. Naval Academy. But not everyone wants female midshipmen at the Academy, and after tragedy strikes close to home, Kathleen becomes a target. To protect herself Kathleen must learn to trust others, even as she discovers a secret that could be her undoing.
