The Kennedy Girl by Julia Bryan Thomas

 Mia Walker, dubbed The Kennedy Girl in the historical fiction novel by Julia Bryan Thomas due out January 14, admires the style of Jackie Kennedy, the wife of the United States president. While Mia would love to fill her closet with the fashions of the 1960s, her bakery job does not support that dream.



When a stranger offers Mia a modeling job in Paris, she ponders the proposal before flying to Paris and becoming an employee at the House of Rousseau, where she learns about the world of fashion from the ground up.

As she adjusts to life in Paris where she does photoshoots and runway walks, she finds it odd but does not question it when her employer gives her cryptic messages to deliver to various people at special events. When she meets a man who is an agent for the United States government, she learns she has unknowingly become part of an espionage ring, which is breaking the law.

What can Mia do to clear her name? How will she be able to refuse when she is given the next bit of information to pass long and still keep her modeling gig? How much danger is Mia in?

Born and raised in Tulsa, Julia Bryan Thomas  grew up studying literature. A graduate of Northeastern State University and the Yale Writers’ Workshop, she is married to mystery novelist Will Thomas.
