520    In 1942, Kay Summersby’s life is changed forever when she 
       is conscripted to drive General Eisenhower on his fact-
       finding visit to wartime London. Despite Eisenhower’s 
       marriage to Mamie, the pair takes an immediate liking to 
       each other and he buys Kay a rare wartime luxury: a box of
       chocolates.  So begins a tumultuous relationship that, 
       against all military regulation, sees Kay traveling with 
       Eisenhower on missions to far-flung places before the 
       final assault on Nazi Germany. The general does 
       dangerously little to conceal his affair with the woman 
       widely known as “Ike’s shadow,” and in letters Mamie 
       bemoans his new obsession with “Ireland.” That does not 
       stop him from using his influence to grant Kay citizenship
       and rank in the US army, drawing her closer still when he 
       returns to America. When officials discover Eisenhower’s 
       plans to divorce from his wife they threaten the fragile 
       but passionate affair, and Kay is forced to take desperate
       measures to hold onto the man she loves . . .
