SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME: TRUE ADVENTURES OF A WANNABE PRINCESS
Book ID/图书代码: 12844011B44282
English Summary/英文概要: Many little girls dream of becoming a princess and finding their Prince Charming. Fine was no different and, at the age of six, traced the Windsor family tree to Peter Phillips, an English royal of her same age, and announced she would marry him. Unlike other girls, however, this dream did not fade away with adolescence. With a story line akin to a chick lit novel, her memoir follows her single-minded path to become suitable wife material for a prince, to move to England and to be swept away in a royal romance. Born to hippie parents in rural Colorado, Fine comes of age feeling out of place and escapes to the East Coast for college and then to graduate school in London. There she ingratiates herself into English social circles, eventually rubbing shoulders with Princess Anne, the Duchess of York and others. Amid her lessons in British society and the universal woes of dating, she also gains the important knowledge that the strength of one’s conviction can be the strongest predictor of one’s fate. Provided the reader doesn’t grimace to see her determination, intelligence and grace used to pursue a man she’s never met.
In June 2010 SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME was optioned for a made-for-TV movie by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the producers of the feature films Footloose and Hairspray, among others. SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME will most probably air on ABC Family in the States.

沒有一個女孩兒不曾做過浪漫美麗的公主夢,或者幻想屬於自己的王子騎著白馬翩翩而來。傑拉米.法恩也不例外,六歲的時候,便開始研究溫莎公爵的家譜,並宣告未來一定要嫁給和她同齡的王儲彼得.菲力浦斯。然而和其他女孩兒不同的是,這個願望並沒有隨著年齡的增長而褪出記憶。類似于“雞仔文學”一樣的故事主線,追溯始于傑拉米懵懂歲月的記憶裡,她是如此認真的堅持著自己的夢想,到她每一步成長的過程中,時刻都在為有朝一日嫁給王子做著準備,再到之後去到英國,以及到最後告別這段皇家羅曼史。
出生於美國科羅拉多州的鄉村,父母與現實生活格格不入,當法恩處於青春期的敏感年齡,她逃離父母,隻身來到東海岸求學,大學畢業後又來到倫敦的研究所。在倫敦,傑拉米靠自己不懈的努力躋身於上流社交圈,到最後與公主聖安妮、約克公爵夫人還有其他王族成員都有親密接觸。
這些經歷讓傑拉米深刻明白了一個道理,人的一生中,信仰的力量是你命運最好的預言者。為了追求一個自己從未謀面的男人,但卻有如此的堅定並付出如此巨大的努力,史蒂文斯希望得到讀者的理解,而不是鄙夷和不屑。(Claire)
Awards/获奖情况:’Pithy and funny... A fresh twist on the tired tales of offbeat girls in search of their dream...’---USA Today
’[A] charming and humorous story.’---Publishers Weekly
’Any woman who has spent any time searching for a good man will enjoy this real-life adventure.’---New York Post
’In this memoir of a wannabe princess, memoir writers should take note of the spunky and self-confident voice, the on-target recounted dialogue and the amusing and revealing comparisons throughout the book, between the life to which she was born (the child of hippies in a Colorado rodeo town), and the royal life to which she aspires.
Certainly Jerramy Fine convinces the reader in this fun jaunt through the American and English pastoral, that obsession can be a valuable compass along one’s journey toward wholeness.’---Women’s Memoirs Book Review

She now lives in London with her English boyfriend. He’s not royal, but she forgives him.
