New Edition: June 2018. Girl in a Taxi is a quirky, experimental story of twenty-year-old Kate Scott as she flips her so called "life" as an American college student and tumbles into Italy without a notion of what's coming to her. No friends, no boyfriend, and armed with three words in the Italian language, Kate's arrival is the catalyst in releasing the person she always dreamed about becoming. Through awkward language blunders, drunken riots, and a hell of a winding drive, she masters "how to Italian" in the passenger seat of a Florence Taxi, and is catapulted into a life unimaginable by the daughter of middle-class parents. While coming to understand just how much mindset can be shifted by place, Kate is determined to carve out a permanent life in Florence, thereby driving away all morsels of her past life, retreating farther into the Tuscan vineyards and into the world she's created in a language different than her own.
