My Life as a Concubine

<I>My Life as a Concubine</I> is the lively account of a savvy, New York City woman, never married, not looking to be, who suddenly falls in love with a Frenchman. After several enchanting years together, Jean-Loup tells her that he must return to France. She is in a quandary--stay on the isle of Manhattan where she has work, friends and speaks the lingo or depart for Paris with the utterly adorable frog prince? There is one teensy-weensy problem--Jean-Loup hasn't asked her to go with him. When he finally pops the question, it certainly isn't the one she expects.
