Paris, 1939. Elise and Juliette meet by chance, two young mothers bonding in a city on the brink of war. When the Nazis invade, Elise makes an unthinkable choice: she entrusts her daughter to Juliette’s care, believing it’s the only way to keep her safe.
But war doesn’t spare bookshops—or friendships. When Elise returns after the war, Juliette has vanished, and her beloved daughter is gone.
From the bombed streets of Paris to postwar New York, The Paris Daughter is a powerful, heart-wrenching story of motherhood, sacrifice, and the desperate pursuit of truth.
Kristin Harmel, bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names, delivers a stunning tale of hope and resilience in the face of unimaginable loss. Some bonds endure anything—even war.
