Divided Loyalties Stephanie Waxman

Set against the turmoil of mid-20th century world events -- the Great Depression, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the Red Scare -- DIVIDED LOYALTIES tells the story of Jill Fullbright, an aspiring actress in 1930's Manhattan, and the man she falls in love with, Martin Levy, a successful writer and passionate member of the Communist Party. Martin is called to fight Franco; Jill is called to her career. This puts them on a collision course culminating 15 years later in Hollywood when each testifies before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, an experience that throws into question not only their relationship, but also the very ideals which first drew them together.
