If Karen A. Chase absolutely had to turn forty, she decided she could do it gracefully in Paris... for nearly forty days. What began as a blog to communicate with friends and family, became a travel journal filled with over a month of humorous and insightful glimpses into her Paris adventures, each of which could be read in about forty seconds. Journal entries are interspersed with Chase's own inspiring photography. Additional, longer stories richly fill in details allowing readers to reflect upon her experiences with food, travel, photography, Parisians, writing, and love in the City of Lights. Through her Parisian- and self-exploration, comes a book that brings to life the richness of Paris as seen through the eyes of an adventuress joyfully turning 40.
