When bombs fall on Pearl Harbor, the trajectory of Faye Baxter’s

Eager to contribute to the war effort, Faye joins the workforce in San

nefarious secrets. When she is recruited to serve as a courier for a
government intelligence agency, the assignment leads her into a web of
misogyny, deception, and espionage. 

Will she learn to trust her instincts, value her own opinions, and raise
her voice against injustice? Or are the risks too great?

Growing Up Girl, Book I

 

Fiction

Date Published: September 10, 2024

 

 

In Growing Up Girl: Book One, a young Bernadette Aller floats through her
life – job to job, lover to lover, place to place. She is an untethered
spirit trying to find her way in a world that’s not been too kind.

Now, as she barrels toward her seventies, she wants to tell her story, not
because it’s hers alone, but because it’s a surprisingly common story. It’s
a story much of which happens behind doors that display the word
unspeakable. Bernadette hires Scully Trippe to ghost write, translating
Bernadette’s personal experience into the third person, in what might (or
might not) be a misguided attempt to extend the story’s reach.

The time frame is malleable, with the storytelling moving back and forth
through several stages of Bernadette’s life.

In this first book of the Growing Up Girl trilogy, BernadetteWorld is
populated with Patience, her housekeeper; Maddie, a former lover and now a
ghost; and Lucinda, a time traveler who drops in and out.

It’s a quirky group.

 

Cover artist is Matt Smith. The image of the five-year-old on the cover is
Matt’s mother whom he never met. In his own words, “Although I have no
memory of her, I treasure the stories of Lynn’s strength, stubbornness, and
ferocious loyalty. My hope is to bring her from the muted mysterious shadows
into the light with love.”

In the New Hampshire summers, Caroline gardens and walks the dogs she and
