New York Times bestselling author Beatriz Williams is Jane Healey's guest on Historical Happy Hour to discuss her new novel, Husbands & Lovers. Husbands & Lovers blends a contemporary love story with a fascinating, mysterious past.

When single-mom Mallory Dunne receives the phone call no parent ever wants to receive – her son Sam is in kidney failure after ingesting a poisonous mushroom at camp – she must face the two biggest secrets of her life in order to save him: Monk Adams, Sam’s biological father, a charismatic, famous singer/songwriter she has not spoken to or seen since the summer Sam was conceived, and Mallory’s adoptive mother’s mysterious family history. Her genealogical search crosses decades and continents, transporting her to a world of espionage and political intrigue in 1950s Egypt.
