"This is a beautiful and fascinating novel that will keep readers hooked."-- San Francisco Book Review

A letter from France, discovered 70 years later, connects a Holocaust survivor and an art director with a conscience.

While attending Valor of the '40s, art director Stephanie Britain stumbles upon a flea market selling letters from the war. She buys a handful, hoping they'll inspire the redesign for a client's website at her branding and design firm. At first, she's drawn by the lost art of penmanship, but soon discovers a hidden treasure nestled inside declarations of love from homesick soldiers.

Stephanie enlists a coworker to translate one and realizes it's not a love letter after all. When a shocking discovery about a client causes Stephanie to question her principles and dedication to her firm's business, she's forced to make a difficult decision -- one that could give her peace of mind, yet ruin her career in the process.

Contemporary fiction with a historical touch and unexpected twists, AMONG THE BRANDED explores family life, an unexpected friendship, and moral conflicts that make us wonder what's more important: our livelihood or our beliefs.
