Post-grad neuroscience student Daisy Lockhart has never been short on brains, but after her longtime boyfriend, Andy Templeton, dumps her through e-mail, she is short on dreams. Alone for the first time in six years, Daisy allows herself to finally be an individual instead of half of a couple. On a mission towards self-discovery, new adventures, and healing her wounded soul, Daisy travels to Paris. Upon her arrival, she meets Mathieu, a mysterious intellectual with a carefree spirit, and Daisy begins to experience the passion and the fulfillment she craves. Daisy's tense battle between possible love and her newly found freedom forces her to decide what she really wants.
Sarah Hina is a former medical student. She lives in Athens, Ohio.

"Metaphors, similes, and literary references abound in this ornately written novel of self-discovery." —Library Journal
"This is an entertaining contemporary relationship drama in which Paris owns the story line." —Harriet Klausner
