Lives We Lead

In the early 20th century, DD and Nora are orphans at the infamous Tennessee Children's Home Society. They experience ups and downs at the orphanage, but Georgia Tann helps set them on the right path so they can become successful adults. As they transition into adulthood, they end up joining the military and getting recruited to the newly formed Office of Strategic Services. Watching German scientists and reporting on UFO activity is fun and exciting at first, but as the years drag on, Nora and DD find themselves wrapped up in scandals and tragedies that challenge their mental health. Lives We Lead is a period piece that takes place between 1940 and 1961. It's the second book in a trilogy about hate in America, and the story focuses on turbulent times where characters deal with racism, unexplained phenomenon, war, child abduction, and more. Through it all, DD and Nora stand by each other's side. Their story is ultimately tragic with a ray of hope at the end.
