Born in the U.S.A…. American gals are taking liberties – and pursuing happiness on their own terms – in this star-studded story collection featuring the nation’s red-hot women writers. They’ve declared their independence! Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes) learns The Truth About Nigel – and the trouble with falling for an incognito Hollywood actor. Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada) sends a single New Yorker on a backpacking trip halfway around the world – where she sees her love life back home with new eyes – in The Bamboo Confessions. A harried mom with a hit novel crosses the pond in My Great Brit Book Tour by Adriana Trigiani (Lucia, Lucia), and turns a crumbling talk show appearance into a sweet success.
