Who is Miryam Holm Hjemas? Nobody whose name you'd immediately recognize, but that doesn't mean her autobiography, It Was A Cold Day In Paris, a doesn't deserve to be read. Raised as a Peruvian aristocrat, Hjemas traveled to the US and Europe illegally in search of romance, made it to Paris, and found herself in a series of failed marriages with abusive husbands and years of strip dancing. Everything seemed against her; yet Hjemas eventually succeeded in her goal of locating real romance--and readers will find her account of successes and failures to be uplifting.
