Michele Kurlander profile

Michele Kurlander is a 59-year-old Chicago corporate lawyer, writer, small business and womens issues advocate, and mother of three grown children. She fell in love with France and all things French many years ago when she first travelled to Europe as the chaperone of a younger cousin in 1967. She travels back to France at least once each year (sometime two and three times), whenever her addiction overwhelms her and she can find a discount airfare. One of her fondest and strangest memories of Paris is sleeping on a bench on the third floor of Shakespeare & Co. one year, and waking to the bells of Notre Dame.
