Elsy Green’s New Book, "Political Theatre," Follows a Young Woman and Her Immigrant Coworker in 1942 Who Must Convince INS That Their Marriage is Legitimate

New York, NY, February 03, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Fulton Books author Elsy Green, who wrote "Political Theatre" under a pen name and now lives a quiet life in Everett, WA, has completed her most recent book, “Political Theatre”: a compelling historical fiction that follows a pregnant single woman who marries her immigrant coworker in order to acquire a green card for him and ensure her baby grows up with a father, but faces legal challenges to her plan.

“In the Summer of 1942, a young woman named Janet McMurphy got two unsettling pieces of news; that she was fired from her job as a paralegal, and that she was expecting a baby out of wedlock from a man who is overseas in the war,” writes Green. “When she accepts a job at a posh show & movie theater, she doesn't realize that she's entered a possible refuge as well as an arena to battle the unfair realities of life.

“After plans with the biological father fall through, Janet makes a choice that could get her into trouble; to marry her immigrant co-worker Giuseppe who is in desperate need of a green card. By doing this, Janet hopes to provide a father for her child and to provide Giuseppe with America's protection from a death camp. Despite not really knowing each other, Janet and Giuseppe embrace the possibility of a life together. But to do this, they must convince to INS that they're in love, and that they've been secretly dating for months. It doesn't help that she's Irish-Catholic and he's Jewish, and are therefore a very unlikely couple

“Janet McMurphy and Giuseppe Petrov don't realize the chains of events their unexpected union will set in motion. Because sooner or later all of the people who live and work at the Golden Apple Theater, will have to do battle in and out of the courtrooms of New York City to obtain their own version of justice. They must also do battle with the prejudices of the day and the events of the era that threaten that to crush them.

“It is true that there is no business, like show business. But there's also no business like the one ruled by the pounding of a gavel. Two very different ways of life will be tested, as they discover that acting in a courtroom or on a stage have more in common than they realized.”

Published by Fulton Books, Elsy Green’s book will captivate readers as they follow Janet and Giuseppe’s journey to convince the court system of their relationship if they have any chance of achieving the future they both desire. Expertly paced and thought-provoking, “Political Theatre” is sure to resonate with readers, leaving them spellbound with each twist and turn.

Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Political Theatre” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
