Requests:  0 Summary:  In November 1944, eighteen-year-old June Walker boards an unmarked bus, destined for a city that doesnt officially exist. Oak Ridge, Tennessee has sprung up in a matter of months--a town of trailers and segregated houses, 24-hour cafeterias, and constant security checks. There, June joins hundreds of other young girls operating massive machines whose purpose is never explained. They know they are helping to win the war, but must ask no questions and reveal nothing to outsiders. The girls spend their evenings socializing and flirting with soldiers, scientists, and workmen at dances and movies, bowling alleys and canteens. June longs to know more about their top-secret assignment and begins an affair with Sam Cantor, the young Jewish physicist from New York who oversees the lab where she works and understands the end goal only too well, while her beautiful roommate Cici is on her own mission: to find a wealthy husband and escape her sharecropper roots. Across town, African-American construction worker Joe Brewer knows nothing of the governments plans, only that his new job pays enough to make it worth leaving his family behind, at least for now. But a breach in security will intertwine his fate with June's search for answers. When the bombing of Hiroshima brings the truth about Oak Ridge into devastating focus, June must confront her ideals about loyalty, patriotism, and war itself.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Beard   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Beard Historical/pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
