Book Description
A girl comes of age in Paris with her expatriate family—and struggles with sibling rivalry—in a “delightful” novel that “captures the essence of childhood” (Library Journal). Based on the author’s life with her famous father, novelist James Jones, A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries tells the story of Channe Willis, who happily lives with her parents in Paris. But when they adopt a French boy named Benoit—ending Channe’s only-child status—her idyllic world is disrupted, and the relationships among this unusual family turn volatile. The basis for a Merchant Ivory film, this is a “discerning, brightly written” novel about love and loss (Library Journal). “Although we’ve gotten used to second-generation actors equaling or surpassing the accomplishments of their parents, the same hasn’t happened with second-generation novelists. Nonetheless there are a few . . . and added to their small number ought to be Kaylie Jones.” —The New York Times “Every page is a joy.” —Sue Harrison, Self Magazine Includes a new introduction by the author and a previously unpublished chapter

Book Description
Excerpt from A Soldier's Daughter: And Other Stories The major talked often of the necessity of send ing Nita home, but so far it had only been talk. I have quite made up my mind at last, Nita, when I return from this expedition, to pack you off to your uncle in England; you are getting a great deal too Old to be knocking about in a bar rack-yard, and there are no ladies here who would keep you up to the mark. I know that you are a favourite with all the Officers, but that only makes matters worse. You have been a regular tomboy for the last five years, and it is quite time that you were taught to behave as a young lady.
