An Inverted Jenny, America’s most valuable stamp, just sold at auction for $2 million. Only 100 copies of the 24-cent stamp were printed in 1918 before a mistake — the plane is upside down — was detected. In the novel One Person’s Loss, an elderly man’s passion for stamp collecting helps a young wife’s parents escape from Berlin during the Holocaust and traces what happens to her husband’s brother, a Resistance fighter. While the U.S. failed to end WW2 sooner or admit those fleeing Nazi persecution, history shows some courageous Americans helped to save lives. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
