"A poignant meditation on self-love, maternal loss -- and the restorative force that is Paris." --Jennifer Coburn, author of We'll Always Have Paris "Lisa Anselmo's tale of striving and self-discovery is proof of the magical magnetism of the City of Light. She might have entitled it "Getting to Paris," where a new life can begin." --David Downie, author of A Passion for Paris: Romanticism and Romance in the City of Light "Charming. This book feels as if Lisa Anselmo is telling you her Paris story over coffee at a caf. An intimate account of learning to grieve the loss of a parent while, at the same time, striving to live your dreams." -- Janice MacLeod, New York Times -bestselling author of Paris Letters "Leading with her heart, Lisa takes us inside the "real"Paris: the Paris of intermittent ecstasy and agony, triumph and frustration, magic and dysfunction. Her honesty, vulnerability and simple joie de vivre through the journey make it a pleasurable trip indeed." --Amy Thomas, author of Paris My Sweet: A Year in the City of Light (and Dark Chocolate) "Enjoyable. Inspiring." -- Publishers Weekly "Poignant...a fresh voice." -- Booklist, "A poignant meditation on self-love, maternal loss -- and the restorative force that is Paris." --Jennifer Coburn, author of We'll Always Have Paris "Lisa Anselmo's tale of striving and self-discovery is proof of the magical magnetism of the City of Light.
