Brook Cottage Books is thrilled to share the beautiful new cover for Baggy Pants and Bootees by Marilyn Chapman.
Baggy
Pants and Bootees
When war baby Sophie joins the macho world of 1960s
journalism she’s determined to prove that she’s ‘one of the boys.’ Until a
phone call from her estranged mother after years of guilt and torment sets
Sophie on a quest to uncover the secret of her birth.
Was her father the all-American soldier she dreamt of
when she was a child, or someone far more sinister? This is the story the
ambitious reporter was destined to write.
Helped by the charming but mysterious David, Sophie
uncovers a heartbroken wartime orphan, a GI romance and a terrifying rape that
leads to an innocent man’s court martial – and finds clues to her own unhappy
childhood.
Torn between her secret love for Steve, the newspaper’s
most eligible bachelor, and her desire to know who she really is, Sophie follows
David to find her father. Only when
faced with the startling truth can she accept the tragedy of love, loss and
betrayal and begin a very different kind of future.
