“An inspirational story for those who chose to fight evil rather than flee. Highly recommended.” —Historical Novels Review“In Goodnight from Paris, Jane Healey reels readers in to the inspiring tale of real-life Hollywood actress Drue Leyton Tartière, when she leaves acting for a Frenchman and becomes part of the Resistance in Nazi-occupied France. Drue’s courageous actions—engaging in dangerous work, broadcasting radio programs designed to prompt America to action and then assisting in the escape of over a hundred Allied pilots—are riveting, and through the pages of this novel, will finally be better known.” —Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Einstein, The Only Woman in the Room, and Her Hidden Genius“In Goodnight from Paris, Jane Healey illuminates the fascinating story of Drue Leyton, the Hollywood starlet turned Resistance heroine. Combining romance, adventure, friendship, betrayal, and redemption, Healey weaves a heady, larger-than-life tale against the vivid backdrop of France during the Second World War.” —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Sapphire“Jane Healey excels at showing ordinary women rising to the occasion in extraordinary circumstances. You’ll be cheering for forgotten real-life heroine, American movie star Drue Leyton Tartière, as she turns down the chance to leave embattled France for Hollywood and instead defies the Nazi occupiers, risking her life again and again in the cause of freedom. A riveting story of true heroism.” —Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author of Two Wars and a Wedding“Goodnight from Paris is a portrait of courage, not of the men who lifted guns to rid their nations of tyranny but of the women who fought via the airwaves to get the support of the United States for the cause. This deft rendering of Drue Leyton’s valiant efforts to report the atrocities of war to the American public deserves a place on the shelf of any lover of World War II fiction. Not to be missed.” —Aimie K. Runyan, author of The School for German Brides
