Omschrijving
From the author of: "Beleaguered", "The Pink Reich", "Living in the Shadow of a Stranger" and several other titles. -- Faye and Anna are childhood friends who find themselves dodging their parents' attempts to marry them off. Together, they join the military in a mid-century era. Wanting to avoid arranged matrimony and experience life beyond rural simplicity, the military proves to be an arena for bullying and the ongoing infliction of male dominance. --- What begins as a terse relationship with another female soldier takes an unexpected turn. During a weekend away from military service, Anna and Faye arrive in a nearby town. They end-up in the company of a licentious man trying to force himself upon them. In an attempt to stop an assault, Faye pulls a gun to scare him off but her attempt leads to his fatality. Panicked over a man's death, efforts to keep it a secret take over. Time, circumstances and guilt cause their secret to slowly unravel until exposed. The victims then become the criminals. --- Judy is the tough talking soldier who survived being sent to a mental institution after being accused of lying about a family secret. After being released, she falls in with the proverbial wrong crowd. It was at the insistence of a judge that Judy had to choose between jail and the military. Believing she chose the easier option, she crosses paths with Faye and Anna. Time turns animosity into great desire for a love affair between former foes but it's interrupted by a prison term. --- After to the death of an attempted assailant, one of the ladies marries a handsome man from a very wealthy family. Accusations ensue of trying to buy her way out of being involved in a killing. Money can't stop a meek socialite from falling into the daily ravages of prison life. --- Life behind bars becomes a battle of wills. Unwanted advances are forced upon weaker inmates. Time away from a marriage contributes to the creation of more secrets for two socialites. They do what is required to survive in life through the sisterhood of secrets and lies.
