Five women find themselves in a life and death struggle against radical Islamists, who are bent on jihad to perfect a caliphate in the United States. Sharon Stokes, a retired police detective; Shirley Garrett, a retired judge; Karen Rogers, a retired doctor; and two housewives, Linda Smith and Barbara Greyburn, take risks so great that most brave men would falter. The weak and the unassuming, who live in the shadows, are capable of greatness and uncanny acts of courage; such are our heroines, the Potomac Book Club ladies.
