A true heroine...


Did you know that Mary Burchell, the beloved Mills and Boon author whose first book was published in 1936, was also a true heroine, whose real life story was even more exciting than her books?
Mary (real name Ida Cook) and her sister very courageously helped to smuggle Jews out of Nazi occupied Europe, and you can read more about this fascinating story on Mary Jo Putney's blog at Word Wenches.
