Anna observes the uniformed servants, the lavishing of toys on the children, and some secret pact between her father and Dexter Styles. Years later, her father has disappeared and the country is at war. Anna works at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where women are allowed to hold jobs that had always belonged to men. She becomes the first female diver, the most dangerous and exclusive of occupations, repairing the ships that will help America win the war. She is the sole provider for her mother, a farm girl who had a brief and glamorous career as a Ziegfield folly, and her lovely, severely disabled sister. At a night club, she chances to meet Styles, the man she visited with her father before he vanished, and she begins to understand the complexity of her father's life, the reasons he might have been murdered. 655 $a Audiobooks. 655 $a Historical fiction. 650 $a Young women -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 -- United States -- Fiction. 650 $a Women divers -- Fiction. 650 $a Irish Americans -- Fiction. 650 $a Organized crime -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fiction. 650 $a Absentee fathers -- Fiction. 650 $a Missing persons -- Fiction. 650 $a Fathers -- Death -- Fiction. 650 $a New York (State) -- New York. 008 s2017 941 $a 1 952 $l KEPC896 $d 20220811010027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E25019B2193A11EDA87CA48954ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
