About the Book

WW II HOME FRONT ROMANTIC COMEDY WITH A STRONG SEASONING OF DANGER AND MYSTERY

"Fast-paced, rich in humor, excitement and romance." -Williamsburg Tribune

Only a few months earlier, the young woman now known as Jane Smith had lived a life of luxury and privilege as the ruler of a small Balkan kingdom. She enjoyed glittering balls, the finest furnishings, the handsomest of men, the most exquisite of foods. Her only friends were four bearded old men who served as her cabinet, and worshiped the ground she walked on.

Then the Germans had marched in, and she and her four councilors barely escaped with their lives. The elderly men had no idea how to survive in the dangerous, terror-stricken new world of wartime Europe. Jane Smith's brains and strength of will won them through peril and certain death across battlefields, perilous borders, famine-filled countries and criminal rings-to the continent's edge and across the sea to freedom and safety in the US.

When at last Jane Smith shepherded her elderly charges down the gangplank and into Manhattan, they had only a few hundred dollars left and found themselves living in a shabby old brownstone. Jane had solved many problems and endured many dangers to reach the land of liberty. But her troubles were only beginning. Now that they were here-how would they survive?

An unprecedented new challenge faced her. They were safe...but how would they earn their way in this bustling new land, five insignificant figures among teeming millions? To find a way, Jane knew she would have to remake herself and her companions. For the qualities that had made her friends with the leading statesmen in Europe in no way qualified them for jobs in New York's melting pot.

And most importantly, who was she in the absence of royal power and prestige? How would she house and feed herself, let alone the four whose lives and welfare were in her hands? She needed to find work she could do, earn their living and prove herself as worthy a citizen as any other American. But nothing in her previous life or training had prepared her for such a challenge.

Suddenly Jane Smith had an inspiration. There was one thing the five of them knew intimately: luxurious furnishings and sumptuous decorations. What she didn't know was where, in an unknown new land, to begin-or that she would face competition, racketeers, and the previously unknown problem of publicity. But she had not quailed among falling shells, starvation, and deadly peril, and she would not quail now.

Then, the woman who had been raised for a royal match found the one thing she never imagined in all her visions of a new life-a man she could love. But he was only a common soldier...

Suspenseful, humorous, heartwarming mystery filled with Kelland's signature oddball characters, including:

Jason Tickle of Lard Can, OK: he struck oil and built a palace for a princess, but where would he find a princess to sleep in it?

Rapunzel Tickle: a large, awkward young woman, her father built her a palace, but she didn't want to be a princess; she wanted the simple life.

Mrs. Jim Slemp: a leading NY socialite, comfortable with her adipose, many times widowed, fabulously wealthy, her voice of brass hid a heart of gold.

Sledge Mantor, gangster-about-town: Jane Smith was in his way to a fortune-he liked to play rough, but Jane could play rougher.

Canopus Jones: NY's most popular gossip columnist, Canopus stumbled on the two biggest stories of his life and couldn't print either one. Though he fancied himself a cynic, he had infinite faith in Rapunzel's flapjacks.

Major Lincoln Bowie of the US Marines: what was so secretive about his past that even Canopus Jones would not reveal it?

"A grownup fairy tale in usual urbane Kelland style." -Kirkus Reviews

"An amazing book. I love the party scene at the end. It makes me cry every time I read it." -Goodreads
