PASTA AND PRADA
A man walks into a bar should be the start of a joke but in Autumn's case it was the start of her next relationship. Mario is a wealthy, Italian paleontologist, three things she knows nothing about. She is from rural Montana where dressed up is a clean bear of jeans and find dining is a hamburger. In an unlikely connection she is quickly swept up into a world she has never imagined that includes luxury shopping trips, exclusive hotels, private jets and a whole lot of champagnes. She recounts the amusing and at times bizarre experience of navigating weird rich people, toileting in foreign countries and learning a new language. It could be a fairytale except that this Cinderella wasn't sure she wanted to be a princess. Ultimately she must face her past before she could believe in happily ever after.
