Secret in the Night

by Gretchen Patty

The Japanese have just bombed Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt finally declares war and joins what will go down as the largest and bloodiest conflict in world history. Back in Washington D.C., the O'Connell family holds onto the hope that their oldest son, who is stationed aboard the U.S.S. Arizona, survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. Meanwhile, sixteen year-old William O'Connell is determined to follow in his brothers' footsteps and serve his country. But loyalty, service, and honor come in many different forms. When William's part-time job at the National Gallery of Art turns into a top-secret mission, William is finally given the opportunity to serve his country. But Hitler has spies everywhere, and William must decide who he can trust to help him keep the secret in the night.
