This novel is a work of fiction. Although the author attempted to depict historical references as best as possible, she altered some dates and details in 1940 for artistic license. Winston Churchill credited the Queen Mary for shortening the war in her role of transporting Allied troops. The threat of a growing fascist movement on American soil was real, especially in Los Angeles.
