Imagine this.  You are a 19-year-old on your first trip to Paris.   You are introduced to a sexy Frenchman named Jean-Luc through a mutual friend.

The sparks fly.

You have one glorious passion-filled day — one day.

 

1989 — Samantha meets Jean-Luc! Doesn’t he look a little like Patrick Swayze?

 

 

But you are young.  You go home with this delicious memory of fire-in-the-belly love in Paris — and you move on.

Twenty + years later, now at age 40, you feel stuck. You are jobless and in debt, and you happen to stumble upon Seven Love Letters from that Frenchman you met in Paris.

What do you do?

Savour the memories and keep the letters to read again when you are 80?

Not Samantha Vérant.

Nope. She got on the internet and tracked down Jean-Luc, then widowed with two kids.

Crazy?

Crazier still, Samantha gets on a flight to Paris and …

Yup, she ends up marrying that lovely Frenchman who is also a rocket scientist (yes really!) by profession.

 

Samantha and Jean-Luc together again!

 

They have now been married 11 years and live in Cugneux, 13 kilometers southwest of Toulouse.

Samantha Vérant Best Selling Author – Two Memoirs

You have to join me to hear her tell this story.  Originally from Chicago, Samantha is now the author of two Memoirs,  Seven Letters From Paris, which has been published and translated in 12 countries, and also How To Make a French Family about adapting to her new life and family in France.

 

Samantha’s Two Memoirs –Part 1 an 2 of her Love Story

As well, Samantha’s has now just published her first novel The Secret French Recipes of Sophie Valroux,

This is a charming tale of a French-born American woman and chef who returns to her family’s childhood home when her career takes a devastating turn and her grandmother has a stroke.

    Not surprised they live near Toulouse, aeronautics centre of France.

    Samantha looks far better with a darker blonde that is more like her youthful colour.

    • Diana Bishop on October 12, 2020 at 4:47 pm

      Samantha is delightful so I hope you will join us for the interview, Maria. Diana

    I’ve signed up for the webinar and am looking forward not only to her but also to seeing you in action! I’ll be able to see all those years as a journalist.

    In 1970/71 when I was at Western, I worked at the business school library every Sunday. I dated a Frenchman who was a foreign student and when I went to France that summer for my course, I took the “Orient Express” from Paris to Nancy where he lived with his family including his grandmère!!!! I only stayed for 2 days then they drove me to Aix En Provence on their way to their summer vacation in the French Riviera. Thanks for jogging m y memory of this 🙏😁

    • Diana Bishop on October 16, 2020 at 7:30 pm

      Trudy,
      What a wonderful story — and how romantic. I must be the only person that did not have a French boyfriend
      when I lived in France!

      Thank you so much for signing up for the interview .. your support means a lot to me, and I certainly still owe
      you a phone call. Diana
