LAST
TIME I SAW PARIS
published December '01 (hardcover) June '02 (paperback)
Paris: the most romantic city on earth.
A place of second honeymoons and newly discovered passions.
A banquet of tastes, sounds, sights, and smells. And
for Lara Lewis, it is the place where she and her husband
once experienced love at its best. Now, it is a place
where forty-something Lara believes she can rekindle
her marriage. She plans the most romantic adventure:
to retrace her first honeymoon with her husband. Visit
the same sights. Eat in the same restaurants. Explore
the same villages. But when her surgeon husband tells
her at the last minute that the marriage is over-- there's
another woman--Lara's heart is broken...almost. Somewhere
along the road of life, Lara has lost herself. But Lara
makes a bold move: she decides to invite a man she hardly
knows to take the trip with her, a much younger man.
What follows is the story of two innocent Americans
stumbling through France in a madcap romantic adventure
that begins with missed connections, lost luggage, and
language barriers, and ends up being one woman's journey
to find herself and the love that has eluded her all
her life.
