About the Book
In 1963 an innocent nineteen year old leaves her small town in Colorado to fly to Paris and marry her high school sweetheart who is serving there with the United States Army. Army red-tape, French bureaucracy, culture differences, language barriers and poverty are some of the challenges she encounters. She relates the joys and sorrows of this incredibly strange experience. After forty years she asks the question, if I bribe a bureaucrat, disobey a priest and forge the best man's signature am I really married?
