It’s always fun to come home to good news. This week I found out Chasing Mona Lisa was a notable book in World Magazine!
Here is what they had to say:
Chasing Mona Lisa | Tricia Goyer & Mike Yorkey
Chasing Mona Lisa features a plucky female heroine, her gallant man, a couple of gun battles, bad guys worth rooting against, historical detail, and suspense. With Paris in 1944 on the verge of liberation, Communist resistance groups vie with groups supporting Charles de Gaulle. In this context, a Nazi hatches a plot to steal the Mona Lisa from its hiding place in the French countryside. Gabi Mueller and Eric Hofstadler, Swiss OSS agents working as Red Cross officials, bring much-needed medical supplies to the struggling resistance groups in Paris. While there they learn of the plot and set out to protect the famous painting.
Also, if this story sounds interesting to you, check out my Chasing Mona Lisa Pinterest Board. There are photos from WWII in Paris, photos of the Mona Lisa, and photos of Paris–how could you not love that?
Oh, and if you’re one of the lucky ones who won a prize at my Facebook and LIVE event party…the loot is in the mail!
Love, love the pics. I’m writing about WWII and I love that era. Paris is pretty in any era! Very cool about the Mona Lisa in World!
Jan, that’s exciting about your book. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your book when it comes out!
