Book description
When sheltered American good girl Allyson "LuLu" Healey
first meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground
performance of Twelfth Night in England, there's an undeniable
spark. After just one day together, that spark bursts into a flame, or
so it seems to Allyson, until the following morning, when she wakes up
after a whirlwind day in Paris to discover that Willem has left. Over
the next year, Allyson embarks on a journey to come to terms with the
narrow confines of her life, and through Shakespeare, travel, and a
quest for her almost-true-love, to break free of those confines.
Just One Day is the first in a sweepingly romantic duet of
novels. Willem's story-Just One Year-will be published in
September 2013.
