Description
The Telegram for Mrs. Mooney by Cate M. Ruane is a gripping story about a young man's perilous journey to find his missing brother in Nazi-occupied Europe. With only a telegram to guide him, Tommy sets out from Long Island and boards a yacht flying the British flag, stowing away on board. He then makes his way to London, where he enlists the help of Daphne, Jack's fiancée. Together, they embark on a treacherous journey across the English Channel in a speedboat, evading German U-boats along the way. As they navigate this treacherous landscape, Tommy and Daphne begin to suspect that their search for Jack may be part of a larger plot by the Gestapo to expose a Resistance network. With the lives of many downed airmen at risk, including their own, they must decide whether to continue their quest or abandon it in order to stay safe.
