Letter from Paris

Claire Broussard's life has always had a little mystery. Sometimes figurines would talk to her if she concentrated just right. And her grandfather always referred to her as a miracle, since she survived an accident that took her mother's life. But the Louisiana transplant is tired of Chicago. When Mammaw falls ill, Claire moves back home. There she finds an old mask of a young woman while repairing her grandmother's house. Mammaw tells her to visit the shop in Paris where the mask was made to learn its secrets. She locates the shop, run by a grouchy Parisian, and finds work translating for English and American tourists. Eventually, Claire learns more about the enigmatic woman behind the mask, who is also a great mystery in Paris. Working closely with maskmaker Armand, Claire discovers that their families have crossed paths before—and begins to feel an attraction.
