New York, 1918. After receiving news that the Great War is tearing Europe apart, Jessie Carson decides to leave the tranquility of the New York Public Library shelves and cross the ocean to join the American Committee for the Devastated Regions of France, founded by the visionary Anne Morgan. Amid ruins and tragedy, she converts ambulances into traveling libraries, launches reading clubs, and trains the first French librarians, sowing hope where there had only been desolation. Seventy years later, a budding writer stumbles upon Jessie Carson's name in the archives of the same library. Fascinated by her audacity, she plunges into an investigation that draws her into a labyrinth of secrets, where she discovers that Carson's destiny is surprisingly intertwined with her own present. Inspired by true events, Frontline Librarians is the story of a group of women who challenged the limits of what was possible at the heart of World War I. A tribute to female solidarity and a vindication of the healing power of words.
