Jessica Jordan Paret

JESSICA JORDAN PARET aspires to many things including becoming a well-paid, talented and highly regarded author. Jessica began her career working for the government, then took a leap of faith and opened her own boutique. After three and half years she decided that it would be more fun, and possibly more fruitful, to close the store and instead publish an Oprah book club-worthy narrative on the humor and horrors of working in women’s retail.  Although guest-starring on the Oprah show is no longer possible, Jessica continues to write about her experiences in retail and has added parenting and adoption, both topics very close to her heart, to the list of would-be memoirs.  When she’s not writing or providing clever edits to her colleagues, she enjoys her roles as armchair psychologist, wife, mother, and part-time retail consultant.
