New Book: ‘When Morning Dawns in Paris’ by Karolina Schützer

Today marks the publication day of Karolina Schützer’s When Morning Dawns in Paris, the long awaited third installment of Schützer’s bestselling Sophia in Paris series.

Paris hums with renewed life as warmth and laughter fill the streets with the approaching spring. It isn’t just the flowers that are in bloom – Sophia’s life is finally too. She and Tristan have built a stable life with their beloved son, Louis and her restaurant, Le Lulu, is also enjoying a current state of bliss.

However, Hayley, Sophia’s best friend and Le Lulu’s head chef, is struggling. She feels she has spent her entire life playing it safe, and now,  a quiet voice inside her longs for something else, something more. When the opportunity arrives to step into the role as head chef at a prestigious restaurant, Hayley makes the life-altering decision to accept the job, hoping it will rekindle her spark. As everything around her begins to shift, Hayley can’t help but wonder whether this new path is truly her future, or if her heart is quietly leading her somewhere, or toward someone, else entirely.

‘When Morning Dawns in Paris’ is a story of daring to follow the deepest cries of the soul, finding the courage to embrace change, and braving the path meant for us. With warmth and elegance, Karolina Schützer blends passion, friendship, and love into a sweet equilibrium of healing, hope, and new beginnings.
