A mother's heart is a treasure trove of love, memories, hopes-and more than a few secrets. Alice Jenkins' heart held more secrets than most mothers could ever begin to imagine. Twice married, and with a son from each union, she treasured her family's secrets over the course of fifty years-secrets that if revealed would not only change their own lives, but the course of her nation, and perhaps all of mankind.
The three-generation chronicle of Alice's Boys is the saga of two half-brothers and how the windstorms of fortune twist them through life from poverty to riches, from ranching to sailing the high seas. After surviving two world wars, they are pulled apart, only to be drawn back together aboard a top-secret experimental battleship whose very existence has been hidden from the world.
Aboard that ship, Alice Jenkin's two boys will find their way into what was surely the strangest-and most secret-naval battle of all time, in a series of events that may forever remain hidden from the archives of history. As amazing and unpredictable as their lives and story were, their history was written into those archives with invisible ink, and to this day remain unknown to millions.
