An unforgettable tale of wartime espionage, romance, and survival in WWII China

When airline captain Stephen Cannon receives a mysterious call in 1994 about long-lost journals belonging to his mother, Anna Karanova, he is thrust into a dangerous search that spans decades and continents. The journals reveal Anna’s extraordinary life as a White Russian émigré working for the Chinese National Aviation Corporation during the most perilous days of the Pacific theater.

Through Anna’s voice, the past comes alive: daring flights over enemy territory, encounters with the legendary Flying Tigers, and harrowing escapes from Japanese-occupied cities. From Hong Kong and Shanghai to the horrors of the Nanking Massacre, her story is one of wartime espionage in China, unbreakable courage, and first love.

As Stephen digs deeper, he uncovers secrets of WWII family intrigue, romance in war, and the dangerous truths powerful forces want to keep buried. Pursued by shadowy agents determined to silence him, he must decide how far he will go to uncover the fate of the mother he never knew.

China Diaries is perfect for readers who love historical suspense, spy novels set in WWII, and sweeping tales of love in time of war. With meticulous historical detail, high-stakes intrigue, and an unforgettable love story, this is a journey into the heart of a war that changed the world—and the people who dared to fight for what mattered most.
