Wealthy, beautiful Naneé was born with a spirit of adventure. For her, learning to fly is freedom. When German tanks roll across the border and into Paris, this woman with an adorable dog and a generous heart joins the resistance. Known as the Postmistress because she delivers information to those in hiding, Naneé uses her charms and skill to house the hunted and deliver them to safety.
Photographer Edouard Moss has escaped Germany with his young daughter only to be interned in a French labor camp. His life collides with Nanée’s in this sweeping tale of romance and danger set in a world aflame with personal and political passion.
Inspired by the real-life Chicago heiress Mary Jayne Gold, who worked with American journalist Varian Fry to smuggle artists and intellectuals out of France, THE POSTMISTRESS OF PARIS is the haunting story of an indomitable woman whose strength, bravery and love is a beacon of hope in a time of terror.

About the Book
From Mary Kay Andrews, the New York Times bestselling author of HELLO, SUMMER, comes a novella celebrating the magic of Christmas and second chances in THE SANTA SUIT.
When newly divorced Ivy Perkins buys an old farmhouse sight unseen, she is definitely looking for a change in her life. The Four Roses, as the farmhouse is called, is a labor of love --- but Ivy didn't bargain on just how much labor. The previous family left so much furniture and so much junk that it's a full-time job sorting through all of it.
At the top of a closet, Ivy finds an old Santa suit --- beautifully made and decades old. In the pocket of a suit she finds a note written in a childish hand: it's from a little girl who has one Christmas wish, and that is for her father to return home from the war. This discovery sets Ivy off on a mission. Who wrote the note? Did the man ever come home? What mysteries did the Rose family hold?
Ivy's quest brings her into the community, at a time when all she wanted to do was be left alone and nurse her wounds. But the magic of Christmas makes miracles happen, and Ivy just might find more than she ever thought possible: a welcoming town, a family reunited, a mystery solved and a second chance at love.

My book group has been meeting for 3 ½ years. This month was the first time we all agreed that not only did we like the book we were discussing, we also were enthusiastic about it: BULLY MARKET: My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs by Jamie Fiore Higgins. We were lucky enough to have Jamie join us in person for our discussion, and we talked for almost 2 ½ hours.
