9. For Paris ~ with Love & Squalor, a debut novel by M. J. Moore
A passionate tribute to the essence of Salinger's generation -- often called The
Greatest Generation. Steeped in history, enthralled by Swing music, dancing in
the shadows of wartime trauma, and falling in love with books and each other, this
tale lovingly recalls two life-transforming encounters with a soldier named Jerry --
as this novel imagines Salinger in uniform circa 1943-1944: first in New York City
and then in Liberated Paris. This singular love story is told by a dying, 92-year-old
woman who served as a WAC in WWII. As her life is ending, she offers a unique
testimonial about her generation.

10. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
