Here's the set-up:

""Passage"" is an incredible true story of Grace Balogh and her courage during a turbulent time in American history.Through her journals, ""Passage"" recounts the struggles of the Great Depression; America fighting two wars: one with unconditional public support and the other with public indifference; the letters from servicemen that are poignant and timeless; and the emergence of a Cold War that pits two ideologies against each other. Threats to the American way of life prompt the FBI to recruit Grace Balogh as an undercover agent whose job is to infiltrate a cell planning violent overthrow of the United States government. Grace leads this secret life largely unknown to her family and friends.""Passage"" takes the reader on a journey into events of the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's that read like the headlines of today.

One Reviewer Notes:

PASSAGE is a great read - the letters and documents and newspaper clippings and transcriptions of important radio broadcasts and trial proceedings that accompany the life of on extraordinary, ordinary American woman - Grace Balogh. Grace began her life as an unwanted child of a woman named Orpha Farley, placed in an abusive adoptive home ... who goes on to marry and Hungarian with whom she has four children. She and her family survive the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War and all the deprivations emotionally and physically that those times produced. Grace became involved with the meetings of the American Communist Party and was later hired by the FBI to be an undercover agent during the McCarthy era.
