A Master Plan for Rescue: A Novel

A Master Plan for Rescue: A Novel

Named a Best Book of 2015 by the San Francisco Chronicle

From the bestselling author of Mary: Mrs. A. Lincoln, a magical novel about the surprising acts we are capable of in the name of love.

Set in 1942 New York and Berlin, A Master Plan for Rescue is an enchanting novel about the life-giving powers of storytelling, and the heroism that can be inspired by love. In essence, it is two love stories. It is the story of a child who worships his parents, then loses his father to an accident and his mother to her resulting grief. And it is the story of a young man who stumbles into the romance of his life, then watches her decline, forever changing the arc of his future. Each is propelled by the belief that if he acts heroically enough, it will restore some part of whatâ€”or whomâ€”he has lost.

But when they meet, this boy and this man, their combined grief and magical thinking will allow them to dream the impossible. Sharing stories of the people they have lost, they are inspired to join forces and act in their memory. To do something so memorable that it might actually bring their loved ones backâ€”even if only in spirit.

A Master Plan for Rescue is a beautiful tale, propelled by history and imagination, that suggests peopleâ€™s impact upon the world doesnâ€™t necessarily end with their lives, and that, to some degree, we are the sum of the stories we tell.
