The Rigel
Affair by L.M. Hedrick
Abandoned by his
part-Cherokee Ma, Charlie Kincaid escapes servitude with his uncle.
He jumps a boxcar, accompanied by his schoolmate Roxy, who is
escaping troubles of her own. Charlie becomes a US Navy Diver.
Mattie Blanc is
from a genteel New Zealand family. But when her brother’s friend
persuades her to take a ride, it all goes horribly wrong. Desperate,
she flees her family’s stifling expectations for a new life in
Auckland.
After the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, Charlie sets sail for Auckland
aboard the USS Rigel. And there she is, the girl of his
dreams. Mattie is everything that Roxy isn’t—sophisticated,
tender, and patient. But the war intervenes… Rigel embarks
for the Pacific war zones.
Charlie’s
letters are sporadic. Mattie is tormented by doubts; did he truly
love her, or was it only a dream?
The Rigel
Affair produces a rip-roaring wartime romance and chilling danger
unknown to most.
