The New York Times bestselling author returns with a dynamic World War II novel centered on two American journalists and an Englishman racing to Occupied Paris for the scoop of their lives. In Normandy, 1944, Jane, a reporter for the Nashville Banner, and Liv, an Associated Press photographer, face immense danger and obstacles, including strict military regulations limiting women correspondents. Liv, inspired by her husband, the editor of a New York newspaper, is determined to be the first photographer to capture Paris's liberation from the Nazis. However, her Commanding Officer has different views on women's roles in the press corps, prompting Liv to go AWOL. She persuades Jane to join her, and they find an unexpected ally in Fletcher, a British military photographer who agrees to escort them. As they navigate the treacherous French countryside, the trio forms an emotional bond that will leave a lasting impact long after the war. Inspired by real-life female reporters like Margaret Bourke-White and Lee Miller, this absorbing saga is filled with drama, adventure, and passion. With expert storytelling and thorough research, the author crafts a compelling and resonant narrative.
