Book Description
A cruise ship filled with gangsters, a missing woman, and a new head of security who can't do his job. What's a middle-aged sleuth to do? Patricia just wants to spend more time in the company of Alistair Huntley, the offensively handsome captain of the Aurelia who seems only too happy to host her. But as the Aurelia sets sail from Miami, it does so with a dangerous new addition: there is a mob boss among the passengers and he's on the run - from more mobsters! Any romantic notions are soon put aside when the mobster's reluctant-looking bride-to-be goes missing and Patricia is unexpectedly volunteered to solve the mystery of her disappearance. There's a cryptic ransom note where the missing woman should be and one of her bodyguards is soon found - with a hole in his head! Regretting her decision to help out, it's not long before the opposing mobster factions take an interest in Patricia's involvement. Someone has the missing bride, everyone wants her, and they all think Patricia knows where she is. With ever-faithful butler, Jermaine, at her side and perfect blonde, Barbie, to distract the men, Patricia will still have to go all out to unravel the riddle before anyone else turns up dead. Where is the kidnapped bride? Find out for yourself as you take another hilarious, action-filled voyage with Patricia Fisher. The Kidnapped Bride is the second in a 10-book series as Patricia Fisher rediscovers herself, uncovers a skill for unravelling mysteries, and from the ashes of her marriage, becomes the phoenix she was always meant to be.

Girls to the Rescue
Author: Emily Hamilton-Honey
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476668795
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
During World War I, as young men journeyed overseas to battle, American women maintained the home front by knitting, fundraising, and conserving supplies. These became daily chores for young girls, but many longed to be part of a larger, more glorious war effort--and some were. A new genre of young adult books entered the market, written specifically with the young girls of the war period in mind and demonstrating the wartime activities of women and girls all over the world. Through fiction, girls could catch spies, cross battlefields, man machine guns, and blow up bridges. These adventurous heroines were contemporary feminist role models, creating avenues of leadership for women and inspiring individualism and self-discovery. The work presented here analyzes the powerful messages in such literature, how it created awareness and grappled with the engagement of real girls in the United States and Allied war effort, and how it reflects their contemporaries' awareness of girls' importance.
