Primarily set against the backdrops of Paris and the French countryside, and taking us back in time to the year 1936, Appointment in Paris tells the story of a young girl named Havoc.  Hattie, as she is also known, is having a difficult time living under the strict watchful eye of her aunt.  She wants to strike out for adventure on her own.  One day she meets Marcelle, a woman older than she, in the hallway of their apartment building. Neither can ignore the spark of attraction that flames between them and before long they are hopelessly head over heels in love.  The time in which they live, however, is very dangerous as World War II rages all around them.  Will the war and the turbulent circumstances they encounter change Hattie and Marcelle?  Will they be separated by events beyond their control?  Or will their love be able to survive against all odds?  Travel back in time with the wonderfully vibrant and well-written Appointment in Paris to find out!
