A longing for Paris, France, leads a budding writer into her past lives to discover the genesis of this desire. Her guides on this journey include the famous French writer Marcel Proust, author of In Search of Lost Time and his companion Celeste, novelist Colette, the inimitable Charles Dickens, tortured artist Vincent van Gogh and a demon named Samael. She will visit Versailles at the time of the French Revolution, ride in a horse-drawn carriage down the Champs-Elysees at the height of the glittering Belle Epoch, watch van Gogh paint a masterpiece under the hot sun of Arles and finally, travel to the Paris of today. Like a precious artifact long buried, the past is uncovered and its influence on the present is unearthed through this journey of discovery and revelation.

Mari Mann was born in 1960 in Portsmouth, VA., and, after much moving around with her military family, grew up mostly in southeastern Virginia and spent twelve years working on a horse ranch and a farm there. A committed reader from childhood, she now works and writes next to woods and gardens and animals in Knotts Island, North Carolina, where she moved after marrying her husband, Rod Mann, a photographer with works in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. They have traveled together to Paris, as well as Italy, Spain and Andorra and across the US several times. Her first novel, Parisian by Heart, was a quarter-finalist in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award in 2011. Her lifelong interest in ancient history, native cultures and art has led her to a Master's Degree centered on Maya art and architecture, to an archaeological dig on an Anasazi site in the Southwest, and to painting and pottery-making.
