About this book

During the German occupation of France, wealthy American heiress Naneé uses her charm and resources to help artists hunted by the Nazis escape to safety. Known as the Postmistress for her work delivering information to those in hiding, she combines her adventurous spirit with dangerous resistance work. Photographer Edouard Moss has fled Germany with his young daughter, only to be interned in a French labor camp. When his life intersects with Naneé's, their story becomes one of romance and survival amid the chaos of occupied Europe. Inspired by the true story of Chicago heiress Mary Jayne Gold, who worked with American journalist Varian Fry to smuggle artists and intellectuals out of France, this novel follows an extraordinary woman navigating love, courage, and resistance during wartime.
