商品簡介
Erica Donato, aspiring historian, is looking into the proud and troubled history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. She is shocked to witness the murder of an aging power broker on the Navy Yard grounds, and soon surprised to learn her late husband’s family had extensive connections to both the Navy Yard’s glory days and its slow, politics-ridden death. There was an aunt, Philomena, who was one of the Brooklyn girls who went to the Navy Yard to build ships during World War II, and Erica’s teenage daughter makes her the subject of a school project. There is a long ago mystery about Philomena, though, and Erica’s overbearing mother-in -law tasks her with finding some answers. Plus, her not-quite boy friend Joe, normally a tower of strength, is struggling with family problems of his own. She cant’ write about he power broker until she knows why he was killed. She can’t solve the mystery about Philomena unless she gets lucky in her research. And maybe there is no way t o help Joe, even though she owes him. This is not the normal quiet life of a Ph. D. candidate and mother.
