Normandy, 1944. To repay the fighting in France, Jane, a reporter for the Nashville Banner, and Liv, an Associated Press professional photographer, have already were required to endure enormous hazard and frustrating obstacles - including rigid military regulations limiting what female correspondents can do. However, Liv needs more. Prompted by her husband, the editor of a fresh York newspapers, she's motivated to be the first professional photographer to reach Paris with the Allies, and she needs to be there when France catches its freedom from the Nazis. However, her commanding official has other ideas about the role of women in the press corps. To fulfill her ambitions, Liv must go AWOL. She persuades Jane to become listed on her, and both women find a guardian angel in Fletcher, a United kingdom military professional photographer who reluctantly agrees to escort them. As they race for Paris over the perilous French countryside, Liv, Jane, and Fletcher forge an indelible psychological bond that changes them and reverberates long after the war has ended. Based on daring, real-life female reporters on leading lines of history, like Margaret Bourke-White, Lee Miller, and Martha Gellhorn - and with cameos by other famous encounters of the time - The Race for Paris is an absorbing, atmospheric saga filled with drama, experience, and passion. Merging riveting storytelling with expert literary workmanship and complete research, Meg Waite Clayton crafts a powerful, resonant story. Meg Waite Clayton is the New York Times best-selling author of four books: The Four Mrs. Bradwells, The Wed Sisters, The Terms of Light, and The Wed Daughters.
