The Daughters of Walsingham
It is 1962. Gwendolyn Spire is a fourteen year-old girl who lives in a shack in the coldest town in America. Thanks to her mysterious father, she knows things other girls in town do not know, like foreign languages and martial arts.
One day a letter arrives, inviting her to study at the Walsingham Academy, a school in a castle in the South of France. Fearfully, and against her father’s wishes, she decides to go.
When she arrives, Gwendolyn learns she is poorer and less prepared than she ever imagined. The girls of the Walsingham Academy, from all over the world, understand perfectly why they are here. This is the world’s top training school for female spies.
"The nuclear age is upon us. War, daughters of Walsingham, is not what it once was. The end of the human race is not science fiction. It is the whim of a president, a prime minister, a supreme leader. What you thirty beautiful, intelligent, courageous girls have come here to learn is the most important work anyone can do: to quietly save our sisters and our brothers, our sisters and our brothers who do not understand."
Soon at the most dangerous time in the history of the world, Gwendolyn is chosen from among them for a mission that takes her to the Kremlin, the White House, and into her own family’s past.

Gwendolyn Spire is a 14 year old girl from Tom, Alaska. She gets a letter one day from Walsingham Academy to attend school there. She has never heard of this place. She has been raised by her father, poor & not that attractive. She does not know her mother. She arrives with only the clothes she has in a broken suitcase & a letter from her father.
What kind of school is this? The girls are to be dressed to the nines at all times. Gwendolyn doesn’t have nice clothes! The Madame has her closet filled with beautiful dresses…where did they come from? Just one of the many mysteries to follow.
