The Code Girl of Arlington Hall

She broke the enemy's codes. She could never tell a soul.

In 1942, a letter from the War Department asks twenty-two-year-old Virginia math teacher June Abernathy two strange questions: Do you like puzzles? Are you engaged? Soon she is sworn to secrecy at Arlington Hall, a former girls' school turned codebreaking center, working beside sharp-tongued Evie and brilliant Alma, who works in a segregated unit across the grounds. In 2027, June's granddaughter finds a hidden envelope in a recipe tin and starts to uncover what her grandmother carried for eighty years.

A moving historical novel inspired by the real women who broke codes for the United States in World War II.
