After experiencing a painful betrayal and breakup with Jack, Michele meets a charming young Roman named Sandro.  Their story, while enchanting, does not reach the fever pitch of her romance with Nicola whom she can’t seem to find to save her soul. It appeared as if he’d dropped off the face of the Earth. This was to become one of the great mysteries of her life. But in her style of making lemonade out of lemons, Michele enjoyed her time with the handsome, and rich, young Roman while she worked in a couple of fascinating job assignments found through a temporary agency.  One of those was at Dino DeLaurentis Films. Two fascinating encounters also happen during this stay in Rome—one with the CEO of a major brokerage firm and the other with a Liberian Ambassador she’d met at one of the SRI conferences. As someone said, “You can’t make this stuff up!”  Next Michele had to choose between going back home to graduate school--at Fletcher, or Stanford to pursue a teaching credential—or to stay in Rome. In the end she chose Stanford for reasons she can’t quite explain to this day.  Unraveling that decision reveals a great deal about Michele’s character.
