Annie Rose - Paperback

Annie Rose is a sweeping historical novel inspired by true events - blending mystery, espionage, and adventure against the charged backdrop of World War I. Set between windswept Block Island and the secretive halls of Washington, DC, this is a story of courage, coded messages, and unlikely heroes.

It's 1917. As the United States inches closer to war, Major Ralph Van Deman races to build the country's first Military Intelligence Service. On a tiny island off the coast of Rhode Island, 22-year-old Annie Rose - a brilliant mind with a fierce will and a life-altering disability - waits for a call that may never come. When she's recruited by the Office of Naval Intelligence, Annie must prove she's more than capable of operating in a world that rarely welcomes outsiders.

From deciphering the Zimmermann Telegrams to unmasking traitors within the ranks, Annie is thrust into the heart of America's fledgling spy game. Alongside her spirited sister Emma and a cast of conflicted military men, she confronts shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and the fine line between heroism and betrayal.

Beneath the intrigue and adventure of Annie Rose lies a truth as urgent now as it was in 1917: in war and in life, no one triumphs alone. On a remote island and in the hidden halls of wartime Washington, every victory and every act of courage depends on another. Annie Rose shatters the myth of rugged independence and celebrates the fierce, unbreakable power of interdependence - the force that binds soldiers, sisters, and intelligence agents together when the world is on fire.

At once a gripping spy novel and a moving portrait of sisterhood and resilience, Annie Rose is a tribute to those history nearly forgot - and to the strength it takes to change the course of it.
