Paris Was the Place

When Willie Pears arrives in Paris, she's looking for adventure and to reconnect with her brother, Luke. Even so, when she takes a job teaching at a center for immigrant girls who are all hoping for French asylum, she does not expect to feel so connected to the ups and downs of their lives--or to find romance with their attractive and committed lawyer, Macon. But as Willie learns the girls' histories, the lines between teaching and mothering quickly begin to blur, leading her to make a risky move that will threaten to upend the life and relationships she's found.
