A French Girl in New York
From debut author Anna Adams, this delightful YA romcom is all about finding yourself, your family, and perfect harmony in the big city. Maude Laurent is an orphan. Raised in Carvin, a small town in northern France, she’s always wondered about her parents—who they were and what happened to them. Her foster family, the Ruchets, certainly won’t tell her anything. For them, she’s someone to cook meals, clean their house, and look after their twin boys, but Maude dreams of much more—she dreams of becoming an opera star and singing on the great stages of Paris. Her Cinderella moment arrives when she’s livestreamed playing the piano and singing in a café during a school trip to Paris....
