Her world is rocked again with news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. First she must contend with losing her American host, the sensible “Clem” - a public health nurse called to Washington to train other nurses. Then the 13-year-old girl must draw on her own experience of being a stranger in a strange land to battle local fears and prejudice when a Japanese Internment Camp is constructed on the edge of town. And will Beatrice have the ‘gumption’ required to face the challenges the war is bringing to everyone? A stand-alone novel and sequel to the very popular, award-winning TRUE BRIT: Beatrice, 1940 about an English girl fleeing the Blitz and landing in America, based on true accounts.

Reviews
I loved this book and its hero---a WWII refugee from London to Santa Fe, NM, Beatrice is a first-rate narrator for a non-stop adventure that includes dogs, Japanese internees, spies and more. This wonderful, uplifting novel will delight young readers and their parents. --Anne Hillerman, author of Joe Leaphorn, Jim Chee, Bernadette Manuelito mystery series. Four young teens from different backgrounds are thrown together in their small, seemingly sheltered corner of the world-Santa Fe, New Mexico-in this fine coming of age story. --Randall Platt, author of The Likes of Me and Honor Bright
