The Hidden Front Line

An Abridged Version of Charlotte’s War

By: J. Lawrence Graham

Narrated by: Nan McNamarra

Three wars, three men, and the one woman working to save them all.

Charlotte Fletcher is in the fight of her life to save her firstborn son from facing a truth she knows all too well—the dreadful impact of war. First, she watched her own brother suffer the destructive consequences of youthful bravado in WWII. Then, she waved goodbye to her husband, a decorated hero, who sailed into harm’s way a second time in the Korean conflict. Now, with her son headed to Vietnam, Charlotte is using all the arrows in her quiver to stop the conflict.

A condensed version of his previous novel featuring Charlotte as the title character, Graham’s The Hidden Front Line centralizes her narrative and highlight’s the importance of the women behind war who are too often taken for granted. The formidable connections Charlotte forges over the years—including visionaries such as JFK, two U.S. Secretaries of State, and even Ho Chi Minh—culminate in a surprising and captivating convergence of personalities, power, and politics.
