Publisher Description
When two brave women flee from the Communist Red Scare, they soon discover that no future is free from the past.
Amid the glitz and glamour of 1950s New York, Phoebe Adler pursues her dream of screenwriting. A dream that turns into a living nightmare when she is blacklisted—caught in the Red Menace that is shattering the lives of suspected Communists. Desperate to work, she escapes to London, determined to keep her dream alive and clear her good name.
There, Phoebe befriends fellow American exile Hannah Wolfson, who has defied the odds to build a career as a successful television producer in England. Hannah is a woman who has it all, and is now gambling everything in a very dangerous game—the game of hiring blacklisted writers.
Neither woman suspects that danger still looms . . . and their fight is only just beginning.

Red Letter Days
Have you heard of the Witch-hunt? Not the one in Salem, Massachusetts, but the 1940s-50s McCarthy-era Communist Red Scare when even an innocent and wildly popular children’s TV series about Robin Hood could be considered to be a plot to corrupt American children. Historical Fiction author Sarah-Jane Stratford is a master of creating vivid fictional characters as well as bringing to life the actual persons who lived through the infamous Blacklist. Great history, great adventure and mystery await.
