When We Were Enemies by Emily Bleeker.

Two women, generations apart, in the spotlight. A powerful novel about family secrets, devastating choices, and hope for the future by the bestselling author of When I'm Gone.

Camera-shy Elise Branson is different from the other women in her matriline. Her mother is an award-winning actress. Her late grandmother, Vivian Snow, is a beloved Hollywood icon. But when Elise's upcoming wedding coincides with a documentary being made about Vivian, Elise can't escape the camera's gaze. And even in death, neither can her grandmother.

It's 1943 when Vivian, a small-town Indiana girl, lends her home front support to the war effort. As a translator in the nearby Italian POW camp, she's invaluable. As a celebrated singer for the USO, she lifts men's spirits and falls in love with a soldier. But behind this all-American love story is a shocking secret-one vital to keep buried if Vivian is to achieve the fame and fortune she covets.

For Elise and Vivian, what's hidden-and what's exposed-threatens to unravel their lives. The heart-wrenching choices they must make will change them both forever.
