  <description><![CDATA[At forty-one, Juanita Lewis is running away from home, courtesy of a one-way ticket to Montana, a place that seems about as far away from the violence and poverty of the Columbus, Ohio, projects as the moon. She wants adventure and excitement&#8211;if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children.<br/><br/>Juanita&#8217;s new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess&#8217;s stove serving up home cookin&#8217; that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin&#8217; through, now has a job by popular demand.<br/><br/>Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita&#8217;s heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She&#8217;s happy in Paper Moon; she&#8217;s found a home, but can she stay? And then there&#8217;s Jess.  She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.]]></description>

She wants adventure and excitement&#8211;if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children.<br/><br/>Juanita&#8217;s new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess&#8217;s stove serving up home cookin&#8217; that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin&#8217; through, now has a job by popular demand.<br/><br/>Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita&#8217;s heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She&#8217;s happy in Paper Moon; she&#8217;s found a home, but can she stay? And then there&#8217;s Jess.  She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.]]>

    <![CDATA[At forty-one, Juanita Lewis is running away from home, courtesy of a one-way ticket to Montana, a place that seems about as far away from the violence and poverty of the Columbus, Ohio, projects as the moon. She wants adventure and excitement&#8211;if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children.<br/><br/>Juanita&#8217;s new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess&#8217;s stove serving up home cookin&#8217; that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin&#8217; through, now has a job by popular demand.<br/><br/>Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita&#8217;s heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She&#8217;s happy in Paper Moon; she&#8217;s found a home, but can she stay? And then there&#8217;s Jess.  She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.]]>

    <![CDATA[At forty-one, Juanita Lewis is running away from home, courtesy of a one-way ticket to Montana, a place that seems about as far away from the violence and poverty of the Columbus, Ohio, projects as the moon. She wants adventure and excitement&#8211;if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children.<br/><br/>Juanita&#8217;s new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess&#8217;s stove serving up home cookin&#8217; that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin&#8217; through, now has a job by popular demand.<br/><br/>Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita&#8217;s heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She&#8217;s happy in Paper Moon; she&#8217;s found a home, but can she stay? And then there&#8217;s Jess.  She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.]]>
