I wondered why I have watched the BBC series, Foyle's War, multiple times. To understand my fascination with this period drama, I recently watched the full series again and will write my thoughts. What did I observe? What have I learned? How do I connect with the story? I came away admiring the British and their determined resolve to defend their nation.

This is an excerpt from my novel, Little Texas. Three young women, born and raised together in Clovis, New Mexico, USA, find their lives upended following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Clovie, Susan, and Akiko are in their senior year of high school when Akiko disappears overnight with the entire Japanese colony.
