Blackmail behind the Barracks

More about the book

Before WWII , a fair-skinned colored girl in the South had few chances to raise herself unless she could figure out how too "pass." The war offered new opportunities to join the effort to defeat the nation's enemies. Clara Brett took advantage of this national need to pursue her dream of becoming an occupational therapist. The path to this goal led to overcoming personal as well as professional obstacles and threats. Other opportunities for relationships with men and women were part of the turmoil of caring for injured soldiers.
