HISTORICAL HAPPY HOUR
Hosted by Jane Healey, Historical Happy Hour is a live interview and podcast featuring premiere historical fiction authors and their latest novels.
Goodnight from Paris
Jane Healey excels at showing ordinary women rising to the occasion in extraordinary circumstances. You'll be cheering for real-life forgotten heroine, American movie star Drue Leyton-Tartiere, 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, NYT Bestselling Author of Band of Sisters
The Secret Stealers
The Secret Stealers is a flawlessly crafted and engrossing story of the unexpected ways in which war changes who we are. Once again, Healey gifts readers with her trademark characters: everyday women who prove themselves to be extraordinary—women so relatable, so endearing, and so brave that they jump off the page and into our hearts.
—Lynda Cohen Loigman, USA Today bestselling author of The Two-Family House and The Wartime Sisters
The Secret Stealers was an Amazon Editor’s First Reads Pick, one of the New York Post’s Best New Books April 2021, a Historical Novel Society’s Editor’s Choice and one of Cosmopolitan’s Best Historical Novels of 2021.
The Beantown Girls
A WWII historical fiction novel of love, courage, and danger unfolds as the war’s brightest heroines—the best of friends—take on the front lines.
A fascinating novel about a little-known wartime sacrifice, The Beantown Girls is lovingly crafted, heartbreaking, and illuminated with hope. I couldn’t put it down!
—Ellen Marie Wiseman, author of The Life She Was Given
The Beantown Girls is a Washington Post and Amazon Charts Bestseller!
One of BookBub’s Biggest World War II Novels Hitting Shelves This Year!
The Saturday Evening Girls Club
The writing is so smooth that readers may not consciously notice all the cultural details tucked in.…Fans of warmhearted sagas should enjoy this.
