Publisher's Summary
When two brave women flee from the Communist Red Scare, they soon discover that no future is free from the past.
Amid the glitz and glamour of 1950s New York, Phoebe Adler pursues her dream of screenwriting. A dream that turns into a living nightmare when she is blacklisted - caught in the Red Menace that is shattering the lives of suspected Communists. Desperate to work, she escapes to London, determined to keep her dream alive and clear her good name.
There, Phoebe befriends fellow American exile Hannah Wolfson, who has defied the odds to build a career as a successful television producer in England. Hannah is a woman who has it all, and is now gambling everything in a very dangerous game - the game of hiring blacklisted writers.
Neither woman suspects that danger still looms...and their fight is only just beginning.
Critic Reviews
"Stratford’s novel effortlessly walks the line between hilarious and harrowing in her account of the tribulations of the victims of the blacklist - all told from a perspective that is unique and refreshing. And I simply adored the heroines Phoebe and Hannah, crafted from Stratford’s meticulous research and fabulous imagination." (Fiona Davis, national best-selling author of The Chelsea Girls)
"Red Letter Days is a blacklist-era game of cat and mouse that’s positively Shakespearean in its witty dialogue, forged identities, banishments, unexpected romance, and even its drama within the drama. The final lightning-speed pages left me breathless." (Kerri Maher, author of The Girl in White Gloves)
"Fairly singing with tension and triumph...weaves fact and fiction into a tale that serves as entertainment, warning, reflection and homage wrapped up in one highly readable package." (Greer Macallister, USA Today best-selling author of The Magician's Lie and Woman 99)
