Fiction

The Paris of the West is a story of love and loss, betrayal and forgiveness, and having the courage to start over. San Francisco, 1948. Having survived the Second World War against all odds, Celina and her family arrive on a Liberty Ship into the Bay Area with high hopes for their new lives. But as new immigrants they face many hurdles, and they have to deal somehow with the trauma of war and the grief of losing loved ones. Betrayal and more heartbreak are just around the corner. A historical read set in the spectacular hily city of San Francisco, 'The Paris of the West' goes from the jazz clubs in the Fillmore District to the sun-kissed vineyards of Sonoma.
