Can a lovelorn jingle writer with a fainting problem help turn the tide of the war?


From the author of the award-winning novel, The French Girl's War, comes a tale of unlikely heroes and the power of music to change the world.


1943 - Brooklyn, New York


Jingle Boys is the story of Wally Lipkin, a Jewish piano player, gifted in his musical ability but cursed with a secret anxiety problem that causes him to lose consciousness at inopportune times. With his eighteenth birthday fast approaching, Uncle Sam will be calling him to fight overseas-a death sentence for a guy like Wally. If he reveals his condition to avoid the draft, he'll surely find himself locked up in a sanatorium like his crazy uncle.


Desperate for a solution, Wally-along with his brother Max, and their friend Frankie-enters a radio station jingle contest that promises the winner local fame, fifty clams, and a stateside government job. A win would allow Wally to serve his country without facing the certain death he'd find on a foreign battlefield.


But when an alluring singer who looks like a motion picture starlet enters the scene, Wally's plans change dramatically. Now, his choices and his jingles may not only put his life at risk, they may turn the tide of the war.

"Songwriters. Codebreakers. Intrigue. Romance. Jingle Boys explores a fresh WWII story I've never before heard. At once surprising, heartbreaking, and great fun, Williams-Dalgart's unique characters bring this relevant historical fiction to vivid life. But beware: addictive jingles might get stuck in your brain."
