From the Publisher
Hello to my readers and welcome to a time long ago!
When I was a little girl, my nose was always in a book, taking me to faraway places. French châteaux, English Gothic mansions. Portraits of ladies in stiff, ivory-colored crinolines and worn satin slippers. I wondered what it was like to walk in those slippers when they were new. I wanted to find out so I traveled far and wide, visiting countless museums, palaces, historical landmarks, soaking up the past so I could create that world of long ago but make it fresh and new, as if you were there now.
I write historicals filled with adventure, glamour, and romance. And most of all, family. My heroines love adventure, but they know there’s nothing more important than to have someone to come home to.
I love writing about strong, powerful women who defy the standard of their time and fight for justice and equality and won’t take ‘no’ for an answer, especially when it comes to saving those they love.
I hope you’ll join me on my journey.
Jina

An emotional and heartbreaking story of survival and secrets
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2021
My, oh my! What a book!!Split between 1940’s Paris and New York in 2003, this tells the powerful story of how two women are so far apart, yet their lives are intricately woven together.I love how the story split between Tiena’s story in WW2 to Emma’s in 2003, both women’s pasts and present entwine beautifully with the others, the secrets which have been hidden for so long are hard to hear when they do come to light, secrets which have and will change both women’s lives. I really enjoyed how each woman is connected and watching them discover the truth, the writing is exceptionally good, I was hooked it’s the kind of book which compels you to keep reading.1940’s Paris, follows the story of a young Roma girl called Tiena who must flee after the Nazi’s roll in, after an altercation with an officer she knows she will never be safe as herself so with the help of the resistance she reinvents herself as Angelina Cadiex, the famous perfumer, a move which will change her life in its entirety forever.2003, New York journalist Emma has a question, there is something she is seeking from the past, from WW2 when she gets the opportunity to interview the world-famous perfumer Madame De Cadieux, a woman who never does interviews, a woman who never speaks about the past but something about Emma makes her say yes if the young woman flies over to Paris.As Angeline tells her story to both Emma and us the readers there is a crackle of suspense and heartbreak which hangs in the air with every word, what happened to her and what she experienced is dramatic, engrossing and shocking. Once Emma starts hearing what Angeline has to say you can easily see where the story is heading, but the secrets and the truths aren’t revealed until pretty late on in the book which will keep you reading wondering if your assumptions of what is going to happen are right or not.There are parts of the story which are hard to read, especially on how the Roma’s were treated by the Nazi’s, everyone knows of the atrocities and unspeakable horror of what happened to the Jewish but people tend to either forget or genuinely don’t realise that others were persecuted by the Nazi’s too such as the Roma. It’s not an easy book at times, it’s heartbreaking, shocking and hugely emotional but it tells us a story that needs to be shared with the world.The Lost Girls of Paris explores some series and sensitive issues which are told in a relatable, compassionate and knowledgable way. It’s completely gripping, it’s a story of love, regrets, secrets, harsh realities, vengeance and survival. It is a beautifully written, heartbreaking, emotional, sensitive and compelling story of family secrets and the fight for survival. I cannot recommend this enough, it’s unforgettable and leaves a mark on the soul.
