 master of French cooking\, Julia Child navigated the shadows as a WWII 
 intelligence officer.\n\nOn the sunny shores of California\, Julia 
 McWilliams is poised to embrace a life of comfort and financial security\, 
 with a marriage proposal from a wealthy man to consider. But as World War 
 II erupts in the US\, her patriotic fervor compels her to abandon her 
 secure future. Trading country clubs for covert codes\, Julia joins the 
 Office of Strategic Services\, where her sharp mind aids the Allied cause 
 in the shadowy realm of espionage.\n\nAmid strategic missions in Ceylon and 
 China\, Julia crosses paths with Paul Child\, a fellow OSS officer whose 
 delight in art\, culture\, and cuisine awakens a new hunger within her. 
 Their chance meetings ignite a spark that blossoms into romance\, leading 
 to a proposal that Julia eagerly accepts. Together they embark on a new 
 chapter in postwar Paris.\n\nIn the City of Light\, Julia grapples with a 
 different kind of challenge: She refuses to be confined by the societal 
 expectations of a married woman. Drawn to the tantalizing world of French 
 gastronomy--a pursuit her peers deem superfluous--she enrolls at the famed 
 Le Cordon Bleu\, and with Paul's unwavering support\, Julia immerses 
 herself in her new passion.\n\nFacing skepticism and prejudice in the 
 male-dominated kitchens of Paris\, Julia's resolve never falters. Her 
 relentless pursuit of culinary mastery not only transforms her own life but 
 also introduces a revolutionary change in kitchens throughout America. From 
 intelligence officer to beloved chef\, Julia takes readers on an 
 extraordinary journey.\n\nAbout the Author:\n\nHeather B. Moore is a USA 
 Today bestseller and award-winning author of more than ninety publications. 
 Heather writes primarily historical and #herstory fiction about the 
 humanity and heroism of the everyday person. Publishing in a breadth of 
 genres\, Heather dives into the hearts and souls of her characters\, 
 meshing her love of research with her love of storytelling.\n\nHer 
 historicals and thrillers are written under pen name H.B. Moore. She writes 
 women’s fiction\, romance and inspirational non-fiction under Heather B. 
 Moore\, and . . . speculative fiction under Jane Redd. This can all be 
 confusing\, so her kids just call her Mom. Heather attended Cairo American 
 College in Egypt and the Anglican School of Jerusalem in Israel. Despite 
 failing her high school AP English exam\, Heather persevered and earned a 
 Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University in something other 
 than English.\n\nPlease register for this event and you'll receive the link
