Author Notes:Francelle Bradford White first learned about her mother's exploits in World War II when she was 6 years old and has been fascinated by her achievements ever since. She is a Director of the international art logistics company Gander & White Shipping Ltd, and lives in England with her husband. As a fundraiser in her spare time, she has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for Alzheimer's and Dementia research and support, the disease from which her mother eventually suffered, and all of the author's proceeds from The Paris Girl will go to this cause.
