In the novel HEPBURN’S NECKLACE, a vintage necklace is the key to the long-hidden secrets of film star Ruby Raines. Join Ruby in 1950s Rome on the film set of Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn…and on the banks of beautiful Lake Como, Italy. As old family secrets come to light, Ruby and her great-niece discover that life—and love—might hold a second chance for each of them today.
Fellow author Kristy Woodson Harvey has this to say:
“Second chances, twists of fate, and a glittering Lake Como backdrop combine to create Jan Moran’s latest stunning read. Weaving back and forth through time, Moran creates an epic tale of love and loss that can’t help but make readers question what might have been. With lyrical prose and unforgettable characters, HEPBURN’S NECKLACE proves that Jan Moran is a writer at the top of her game and a storyteller to remember.” — Kristy Woodson Harvey, USA Today Bestselling author of Feels Like Falling
This dual-timeline family saga was an absolute joy to write! The story begins on the set of the classic film, Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, and Eddie Albert, and directed by the legendary William Wyler. For her role as the charming runaway, Princess Anne, Audrey Hepburn won an Oscar — an Academy Award for best actress. It's available on Amazon, but you might find it elsewhere, too. Even if you don't watch the film, the 2.5-minute trailer is adorable and will give you a visual of the setting and era as the story in the novel unfolds. I hope you'll find this saga and its wealth of family secrets and relationships intriguing. Hepburn's Necklace is also a fun book club selection, and Discussion Questions are included in the back of the book.

The wonderful Erin Bennett, a multiple award-winning voice-over artist, narrated the audiobook, which is utterly engrossing. She is an incredible A-list talent, and she really brings a book to life. Erin has recorded all of my audiobooks to date, and I was so lucky that she had room in her schedule for Hepburn's Necklace. Click here to listen to a sample.
