About the Book

Before she stepped into the spotlight as a master of French cooking, Julia Child navigated the shadows as a WWII intelligence officer. On the sunny shores of California, Julia McWilliams is poised to embrace a life of comfort and financial security, with a marriage proposal from a wealthy man to consider. But as World War II erupts in the US, her patriotic fervor compels her to abandon her secure future. Trading country clubs for covert codes, Julia joins the Office of Strategic Services, where her sharp mind aids the Allied cause in the shadowy realm of espionage. Amid strategic missions in Ceylon and China, Julia crosses paths with Paul Child, a fellow OSS officer whose delight in art, culture, and cuisine awakens a new hunger within her. Their chance meetings ignite a spark that blossoms into romance, leading to a proposal that Julia eagerly accepts. Together they embark on a new chapter in postwar Paris. In the City of Light, Julia grapples with a different kind of challenge: She refuses to be confined by the societal expectations of a married woman. Drawn to the tantalizing world of French gastronomy--a pursuit her peers deem superfluous--she enrolls at the famed Le Cordon Bleu, and with Paul's unwavering support, Julia immerses herself in her new passion. Facing skepticism and prejudice in the male-dominated kitchens of Paris, Julia's resolve never falters. Her relentless pursuit of culinary mastery not only transforms her own life but also introduces a revolutionary change in kitchens throughout America. From intelligence officer to beloved chef, Julia takes readers on an extraordinary journey.

Review :
"Heather Moore is skilled at mixing narrative with facts . . . an enjoyable read with a lot of interesting topics." -- "Compass Book Ratings" (8/28/2025 12:00:00 AM) "This is a lovely historical fiction that draws us into Julia's world. While everyone knows about her cooking, the details of her life in the OSS, trusted with America's secrets during WWII, are lesser known and very intriguing. The book is well-researched, but it manages to stay warm and inviting, just as she was. Highly recommended." -- "Historical Novel Society" (8/4/2025 12:00:00 AM) "Child is an engaging figure, and her many fans, along with a new generation of foodies, will enjoy this fictionalized look at her fascinating life . . . . Teen foodies will find this an engaging entry point into the life and work of the iconic Julia Child." -- "Booklist" (7/17/2025 12:00:00 AM) "This well-researched novel includes little-known aspects of Child's life. . . . The characters' personalities shine through and add to the book's charm, while the third-person narration manages to express Julia's feelings beautifully. Will appeal to Julia Child fans, home chefs aspiring to a higher level of cooking, and World War II historical fiction enthusiasts." -- "Library Journal" (6/18/2025 12:00:00 AM)
