Samantha Verant has written an entertaining and heartfelt memoir of her life beginning by meeting a handsome Frenchman, Jean Luc, as a 19 year old teenager. She soon was parting ways with him to return to school, but ended up reconnecting 20 years later. Samantha tells about her life in France, her stepchildren, friends, and family. The story is enjoyable, peppered with lots of French phrases and many wonderful French recipes . I definitely recommend this book to all!
