Two women. One secret. A truth worth fighting for.
1918. Timid and shy Emmaline Balakin lives more in books than her own life. Then an envelope crosses her desk at the Dead Letter's Office bearing a name from her past and Emmaline decides to finally embark on an adventure of her own-as a volunteer librarian on the frontlines in France. But when she comes face to face with the love of her life, and the unthinkable occurs in the perils of war, Emmaline will need to find more courage within herself than she ever thought possible in order to survive.
1976. 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.
Story Locale: Paris, France and the frontlines of World War I in France in 1918; Washington DC and Annapolis, Maryland in 1976

GROWING HISTORICAL TRADE PAPERBACK MARKET: Trade paperback original historical fiction continues to be a growing market, with highly successful bestsellers such as The Atomic City Girls, Goodnight from London, and The Flight Girls. Women of Words and War is a perfect title for Putnam to gain market share in this selling space and format.
PERFECT FOLLOW-UP/BUILDING A BRAND AUTHOR: Women of Words and War is the second book in a pre-empted two-book deal and is exactly on brand: emotional historical fiction inspired by pioneering women. We hope to build Armstrong into a book-a-year Putnam repeater a la Mira's Pam Jenoff.
AUTHOR WUNDERKIND: Addison Armstrong was only 22 years old when she wrote her debut novel, The Light of Luna Park, while finishing her senior year at Vanderbilt University and wrote this second book while finishing her Masters. She has all the talent of seasoned comparative authors in the genre and a gift for Big Book Ideas.
BOOK CLUB PERFECTION: Women of Words and War masterfully explores themes and issues that readers will be itching to discuss: Questions about identity, grief, love, race, attitudes toward women in positions historically held by men, as well as our right to stand up for what we believe even if isn't a popular belief.
