today and made it through 2 episodes. Pretty good. Does not paint a good picture of the King of Sweden during WWII.

the Norwegian Royal family in that era. I kept googling info on all the players. They were very popular and really savvy.

This is a memoir by the American ambassador to Norway during the time period of Atlantic Crossing. It is on sale as a Kindle book for $2.99. If you don't have a Kindle you can always download the App and read it on a phone, Ipad, laptop, whatever.

Her character in Atlantic Crossing is interesting.

I am also looking for a more expansive book about her life.
