After narrowly avoiding jail time-thanks to the help of a kind-hearted police officer named Claude Leduc, Huguette lands a job assisting a legendary film director. As her role develops from helping him with chores to cooking his books, she sees an opportunity to break free from the ghosts of her past once and for all. In this big-hearted story of resilience, New York Times bestselling author Cara Black offers a wholly original depiction of post-war France-as well as a prequel to her fan-favorite Aimée Leduc series"-- Provided by publisher.
