As someone who is always looking for a bargain, she jumps at the chancenaively thinking that if she can read and understand French, she can easily learn to speak it. In this memoir, she looks back at her journey to France, and how once there, she navigated taking exams, finding her way through Paris, networking with students, and conquering her fears. Along the way, she meets people shell never forget, including an Australian named Paula Burk, who she runs into by happenstance at a cafeteria.
