Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was a French socialite groomed to marry rich. I did not care about that, though, because I was in love with someone else: Richard, my American painter and flamenco guitarist.
#2 I was nervous climbing the stairs to the servantsâ quarters, but I was also excited for the new life that awaited me on the other side. I was climbing beyond the gray, hidden world of those who worked so hard to serve the will of others.
#3 I had a crush on Richard, a friend of my fatherâs. I was forbidden from seeing him, but I wanted to. One night, we sang and flamenco danced together. I went back home the next morning by service stairs.
#4 The authorâs first kiss with Richard was heavenly. She had been waiting for this moment all her teenage life, fantasizing about the way, the time, and the manner in which she would become a woman.
