Fire Off Jupiter

In 1942, German submarines turned the ocean off Palm Beach into a war zone, sinking ships close enough for people on the beach to watch them burn.

Eighteen-year-old Pat saw it coming, but no one believed her. From the deck of a German U-boat to the beaches and back roads of Palm Beach, Fire Off Jupiter brings to life a true and astonishing chapter of World War II almost forgotten by history.

As German submarines slip through the dark waters off Jupiter, the bright lights of Palm Beach make an easy target. Ships explode on the horizon. Oil fires light up the night sky. Neighbors become strangers, and the war comes home to a community that thinks it is safe.

Sixty-six years later, Pat is finally ready to tell the whole story. Fire Off Jupiter is the first book in the U-Boats in Paradise series, a sweeping saga of war, family and a young woman whose life is changed forever by the night the ocean caught fire.
