My DNA results came back from the Ancestry DNA test I took back in February. By my thrilled tone you can probably sense my feelings on the whole thing. I love writing in caps and using way too many exclamations, but today no such abuse of punctuation will take place. The results were so vague that I wasn’t really impressed. Yes, I know I am from the planet Earth, but could you narrow it down at least? No…no they couldn’t. “You are human and part of you is from this part of the planet (waving hand over left side of globe) and part of you is from this part of the planet (waving hand over right side of globe). Well gee.. thanks a bunch Mr. Science Man. Is this because my hubby bought it on sale? It did match me up with other people on the site that were my family, so I know its pretty accurate. The only problem is that a lot of the information on the site is the information and pictures I had gotten from my visits to Canada to see my Grandpa. I gave everything to my father and he submitted it to Ancestry.com. Umm.. okay. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Love and betrayal, spies and patriots, murder and romance, Roosevelt versus Hitler on the eve of World War Two. “Winds of War” meets “The Eye of The Needle.”

This espionage thriller follows FBI agent William Cochrane’s efforts to stop a Nazi spy from assassinating FDR. Toss in a love affair with a British Secret Service operative and you have the makings of a page-turner. LJ’s reviewer found the book “complex in characterization, crisp in dialogue, and thorough in its background” (LJ 3/15/85).

It is 1939. Roosevelt is winding down his second term in the White House. The Nazis have taken Austria, and Stalin’s Red Army is systematically eliminating the Kremlin’s enemies. Europe is going to hell in a handbasket. With isolationist sentiment running high in America, and the president’s popularity at an all-time low, Hitler seizes the moment and dispatches his secret weapon: An agent named ‘Siegfried’ who conceals himself behind the mask of middle-class America. A chameleon who can change identities and personalities at will. A cold-blooded killer who will win the war for Germany.

A banker, linguist, and demolitions expert who has successfully infiltrated German intelligence, FBI Special Agent Thomas Cochrane is handpicked by Roosevelt for an impossible mission: To find Hitler’s spy before he carries out a plan that will remove the president from office at a critical moment in the century’s history. As Cochrane, with the help of British Intelligence agent Laura Worthington, circles closer to his elusive quarry, a spy with supporters in the highest levels of U.S. government readies the world stage for a final act of annihilation that will alter the tide of war–and the future of the free world–in unthinkable ways.

Imagine a world where your most precious inalienable rights are denied. Where individual freedom is a thing of the past. Imagine World War II without FDR…

Preparing your own traditional, handcrafted candies is an amazing experience!

The author, Adi’s, first exposure to the art of making handmade candies was in a boutique factory in rural England – and she was blown away!
