Karen Roarty-Dansfield (Engr ’79 L/M), who retired after 33 years in materials development for the U.S. Navy, published The God of Choice under the pen name Kaye Byrd. The story centers around two families, the descendants of poor Irish immigrants and the descendants of privileged English ones whose sons cross paths during World War II. This is the first of three planned volumes that will follow the characters through the 1950’s and 1960’s.
