Loretta Ellsworth - FULL
author of "The French Winemaker’s Daughter" at Wahoo's Fish House, Murrells Inlet.
"After numerous award-winning children's and young adult books, author Loretta Ellsworth spent five years researching and crafting this story of two women, one the only daughter of a Jewish Winemaker in Nazi-occupied France, and the other, a 21st century female American pilot, who are connected across time by a rare bottle of wine hidden from the Nazis with a handwritten message behind a fake label, which ultimately winds up sold at the legendary Hotel Drouot, the oldest auction house in Paris"
