 ong>Missed Connections</strong></em>\, Sabrina Sorensen is 37\, single\, a
 nd just lost a fabulous job as manager of a posh Parisian restaurant. She 
 heads home to California for her younger sister&rsquo\;s engagement party\
 , and it&rsquo\;s an open door for her mother and siblings to chide Sabrin
 a for her inability to commit to any of her previous jobs and relationship
 s. What they don&rsquo\;t know is that Sabrina\, for fifteen long years\, 
 has been building her r&eacute\;sum&eacute\; in hopes of becoming an inspe
 ctor for the famed MICHELIN guides&mdash\;a path that has required keeping
  her ambitions hidden\, even from her family. And\, with the job loss\, al
 l she&rsquo\;s worked for is in jeopardy. After her mother&rsquo\;s final 
 clumsy attempt to fix her up with the charming &ldquo\;boy next door\,&rdq
 uo\; Sabrina leaves the party and retreats to the Burbank Airport.</p>\n<p
 >The problem? She has nowhere to go.</p>\n<p>She arrives at the airport\, 
 resolved to put the family conflict behind her and focus on her work\, but
  now her mother&rsquo\;s critical voice fills her with doubts. Has she bee
 n wasting her life? Faced with the enormity of her next decision\, Sabrina
  breaks down at the ticket counter. The ticket agent pulls her aside and o
 ffers her the life-altering opportunity to revisit some of her key life ch
 oices\, both personal and professional. Sabrina suddenly is given the rare
  chance to answer the burning question: has she been foolish to sacrifice 
 so much for her dream of becoming a Michelin inspector? And will a spark w
 ith an aspiring Danish chef change her priorities altogether?<br /><br /><
