Overview

Jessica Rossi is a celebrity swimsuit model walking the Paris and Milan runways for the first time. She is a modern day princess, controlled by her agency, told how to act, who to date, what to think. She cannot take it anymore and escapes to Rome to blend into the landscape and enjoy a period of freedom and normalcy.

Falling in with a tour group led by a professor of art history from the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Jess finds far more than she was looking for and her life's trajectory spins in a new direction.

This is a story of adventure, enlightenment, coming of age, romance, and fulfillment. It is set against the backdrop of contemporary Rome and is filled with adventure, danger, self-discovery, history, cuisine and humor.

From the authors of The Girl Who Fell Off the Turnip Truck series, it's a universal tale of finding yourself and claiming your life's companion.
