"As German bombs fall over London and England is drawn into war, members of the Carlyle family are forced to make choices that will deeply affect their lives--and the lives of thousands of others. Family patriarch Philip, a member of the House of Lords and a confidant of Winston Churchill, has been struggling for the esteem of his peers since joining the LDS Church. As he slowly gains acceptance, little does Philip realize there is someone very close to him who would like to see him destroyed--even if it means taking the entire country with him."--From publisher's description.
