The authors:
Mamta Chaudhry is the author of Haunting Paris, described by Publisher’s Weekly as “a heart-wrenching love letter to Paris,” with a unique perspective on the Holocaust.
Kristin Harmel’s new bestseller, The Book of Lost Names, was inspired by a true story from World War II, of a young woman with a talent for forgery who helped hundreds of Jewish children.

Bookwoman Book Club Discussion: The Velveteen Daughter by Laurel Davis Huber
9:00 pm EST
Hosted by WNBA-National
Open to WNBA members
The Velveteen Daughter reveals for the first time the true story of two remarkable women: Margery Williams Bianco, the author of one of the most beloved children’s books of all time,The Velveteen Rabbit, and her daughter Pamela, a world-renowned child prodigy artist whose fame at one time greatly eclipsed her mother’s.
The glamorous art world of Europe and New York in the early 20th century and a supporting cast of luminaries―Eugene O’Neill and his wife Agnes (Margery’s niece), Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, and Richard Hughes, author of A High Wind in Jamaica, provide a vivid backdrop to the Biancos’ story.
From the opening pages, the novel will captivate readers with its multifaceted and illuminating observations on art, family, and the consequences of genius touched by madness.
