This book delineates the true story of an American girl, Ora Ray Baker, who fell in love with an Indian mystic by the name of Hazrat Inayat Khan. They were married in London and settled in Paris. Their firstborn daughter Noor-un-Nissa, during WWII became a British spy in Paris. She was captured by Gestapo and later killed in Concentration Camp in Germany. Their eldest son Vilayat Khan served in Royal British Navy, docked on the beaches of Normandy to deliver men, weapons and equipment to allied forces.

The Operator


INTRODUCING
THE OPERATOR
BY HOWARD GERSHKOWITZ
While on vacation in historic Prescott, Arizona, Harold and Laura try to jump-start their marriage. Instead, he finds himself swept through a squirmhole to 1929, and into the arms of the beautiful Talia Sanders. Together, they scheme to prevent the Great Depression but, before he can put their plan to the test, he re-emerges in the present.
He discovers nothing changed, except for the billion-dollar fortune Talia left him with instructions to derail an imminent, nation-wide, financial collapse. He’s attacked by Talia’s son, who will stop at nothing to gain control of the money. Meanwhile, he must navigate the murky backwaters of Washington, DC, guided by a power broker with his own traitorous agenda. Caught in a web of greed and deceit, Harold is forced to find his way back in time to enlist Talia’s assistance. When their combined attempts backfire, his world teeters on the edge of disaster.
With his life on the line, he must rely on the one he loves to save him...
Phoenix temperatures are on the rise; 100-degree days are on the horizon. Beat the heat!
