One Summer in Paris

Sarah Morgan’s third trade title charts the unlikely friendship that develops between a newly single forty-something woman, embarking solo on the holiday of a lifetime to Paris, and the rebellious teenage neighbor she takes under her wing. It follows the heart-warming (and heart-rending!) ups and downs of their relationship as they teach each other about family, love, sex and self-confidence.

Audrey can’t believe it when her husband of 25 years announces he doesn’t want to join her on their long-planned trip to Paris – he wants a divorce instead! Reeling from the shock, a devastated Audrey makes the bold decision to go on this holiday of a lifetime alone. She quickly strikes up a friendship with 18-yr old Grace, who’s been dispatched to Paris by her mother to ‘learn the language’ – in reality, it’s so her mother can concentrate on her new husband. Heartsore from this rejection, Grace is rebellious, wild, and desperately unhappy. They forge an unlikely bond. Audrey can’t believe the risks Grace takes. Grace can’t believe how lacking in self-confidence Audrey is. Together, over a summer in magical Paris, they’ll help each other overcome the pain they’re both wrestling with and through finding each other, discover stronger, happier versions of themselves.
