From the bestselling author of the "heart-stopping tale of survival and heroism" (People) The Book of Lost Names comes a gripping historical novel about two mothers who must make unthinkable choices in the face of the Nazi occupation. Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Though there is a shadow of war creeping across Europe, neither woman suspects that their lives are about to irrevocably change. When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life--her young daughter, playmate to Juliettes own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliettes Librairie des Rêves, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliettes world is destroyed along with it. More than a year later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friends bookstore reduced to rubble--and Juliette nowhere to be found. What happened to her daughter in those last, terrible moments? Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her. Elises desperate search leads her to New York--and to Juliette--one final, fateful time. An "exquisite and gut-wrenching novel" (Lisa Barr, New York Times bestselling author) you wont soon forget, The Paris Daughter is also a sweeping celebration of resilience, motherhood, and love.

Harmel was inspired by the true story of French citizens who fought against evil during WWII with courage and conviction. She shines a brilliant light on those who had their identities erased and lives destroyed, on a country and its people torn apart, and young women like Eva, who risked their lives with everyday acts of epic heroism. Sweeping and magnificent."
