In 1944, three stateside women had a job to do, but it wasn’t easy….On the run from corrupt and violent police back in El Salvador, Elena, an outspoken journalist, is desperate to find work and send money home to her family. But the 1944 California wartime shipyard is a dangerous place. Hostile male co-workers shake her friends off rope ladders, and Elena’s torn welding gloves cause a serious burn. Rachel, a naive nurse determined to prove herself at the chaotic shipyard clinic, treats her wound. Elena also makes friends with Ruby Mae, a young Black woman fresh from Baton Rouge, who is stunned to discover the Bay Area isn’t the escape from racism she’d yearned for.But when a nearby US Naval base, Port Chicago, explodes, killing 200 Black sailors, Elena risks arrest and deportation if she reports the truth of the disaster and subsequent mutiny trial. Rachel can’t sleep after treating the horrific injuries of the wounded sailors. Ruby Mae may be fired for calling out harassment on the job. Each woman must lean on her friends and summon the courage to speak out against injustice in this historical novel encompassing the Rosie the Riveter era and one of the worst incidents in Naval history, the Port Chicago Disaster.Praise for Shipyard Gals”Shipyard Gals is riveting–and not just because it evokes the Rosie and all the patriots who stepped in during World War II and took over crucial defense work when American men were fighting overseas. Its three women heroes are more than just archetypes. They are as alive as your closest friends. The settings? So vividly described you’ll feel you’re back in 1944. Valerie Stoller has written a splendid work of historical fiction.” –Susan Isaacs, author of Shining Through and Bad, Bad Seymour Brown”Set in the wake of the Port Chicago explosion of 1944, Valerie Stoller’s Shipyard Gals follows the interconnected stories of three young women from very different backgrounds, all of whom are battling the prejudices of the times to find their purpose and voice. You will fall in love with these strong women, root for them, cry and laugh, and you will learn so much about a little-known, yet essential, piece of our complicated history. I couldn’t put it down.” –Anne Raeff, author of Only the River and Winter Kept Us Warm”In Shipyard Gals, Valerie Stoller brings to life a powerful and rarely told story of women on the home front. Set in a 1944 California shipyard, the novel follows three young women–Latina, Black, and Jewish–as they challenge racism, sexism, and societal expectations. With rich historical detail and emotional depth, Stoller honors the legacy of the real Rosie the Riveter workers who shaped American history with courage and skill. Shipyard Gals is both moving and vital. Valerie Stoller has given voice to the working women whose stories still echo today.” –Julia Park Tracey, author of The Bereaved and SilenceAbout the Author Valerie Stoller grew up in New Jersey, went to college in Ohio, and kept heading west until she landed in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she worked as a nurse practitioner. Shipyard Gals is her first novel. She lives in Oakland with her husband and their two disobedient (yet adorable) cats.
