She is a charismatic spy; her story is one of resistance and survival. These are the darkest days for France, half occupied by Nazi Germany, half run by the collaborationist Vichy regime; and dark days for Britain - isolated and under threat of invasion.

When Haskell was young, his devoted mother, Mary, instilled in her son the values of character, faith, and honor by setting an example and asking him to promise to live his life according to her lessons.

This story is about a woman, who seeks happiness through the pockets of wealthy men. She wanted to live her life, and her husband and kids were not included.

She was out to get every dollar she felt she deserved, and nothing or no one could stop her.
