DescriptionMaggie Davis - Stage Door Canteen  Stage Door Canteen is a work of epic proportions. A bit of a departure for Maggie Davis, who is a well-known romance novelist, this meticulously researched, mainstream novel is infused with the spirit of a wartime America. The story, framed by WW2, takes place between 1942-43, and introduces us to a select group of individuals, including theatre people, young women volunteers, and a cross section of America's fighting men and women. All are patrons of The Stage Door Canteen - a former off-Broadway nightclub-turned-USO - funded and staffed through the generosity of the New York City show community. The settings - for this study in contrasts - are New York City and Washington, DC, where the Pentagon is still emerging from a disarray of concrete block and mortar. The reader shares the lives of a complex set of characters, including Jenny, a singer/actor in a Broadway show, whose husband - a well known writer - is drafted and sent to work on top secret documents that will help solidify US policy in the international arena. GI Gene, a decorated gunner, who pursues and pledges his love to Dina, a Stage Door Canteen volunteer hostess, so focused on her dream of becoming a Broadway star, that she refuses to consider marriage.
