Over the Teacups

July 1919. When the train deposits Odette at Indianapolis' Union Station, tucked among her belongings is a special commendation signed by General John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief, American Expeditionary Forces. Another priceless memento rests in the crevices of her heart. He has a name, but she isn't at liberty to speak it. Not yet.

Though she left the Great War behind her, unanticipated skirmishes arise on the home front. The War Department seems incapable of processing paperwork related to her Signal Corps service, and her parents' urgent quest to steer her down the matrimonial aisle is in direct opposition to the promises she made while she served in France. She puts off everything and everyone while she waits for the remedy that will set her future on its perfect course, but nothing prepares her for the ambush that follows.
