Sofie Rhodes is the aristocratic wife of a scientist whose post-WWI fortunes change for the better when her husband, Jurgen, is recruited for Hitlers new rocket project. But too late they realise the Nazis plans to weaponise Jurgens technology as they begin to wage war against the rest of Europe.Alabama, 1949. Jurgen is one of hundreds of Nazi scientists offered pardons and taken to the US to work for the CIAs fledgling space program. Sofie, now the mother of four, misses Germany terribly and struggles to fit in among the other NASA wives.When news about the Rhodes familys affiliation with the Nazi party spreads, idle gossip turns to bitter rage, and the act of violence that results will tear apart a community and a family before the truth is finally revealed - but is it murder, revenge or justice
