A String of Pearls is set in America n most romantic yet desperate period, those last few years leading up to and including the day Japanese bombs and torpedoes pierced her Navy and her heart. One ship in particular holds the reality of that infamy for the world to remember. The USS Arizona lies at her station in Pearl Harbor where she and so many of her crew met their end on a beautiful tropic Sunday. All her sisters, save the old Utah, who were struck by those same Japanese missiles in greater numbers, were soon reincarnated to vanquish their attackers. The Arizona was the only one who s wounds were so vast they were declared mortal. Why? Could it possibly be her murderers were not those who swarmed above her, but those held closer to America n heart? Arizona comes to life to tell her story, helped by indefatigable men and incredibly courageous women who recognize a war is coming that must be won at all costs. Extremely well-written with vibrant and rich dialogue, characters and settings.
