Jennifer Burge has had a mission since age thirteen. The mission? See as much of the world as possible, beginning with Europe. At thirty, Jennifer joins one of the world's largest technology consulting firms to finance her plan. Travel begins with domestic assignments in Dallas and New York before she gets an international break to work in Calgary in September 2001. After a taste of cross border corporate life, Jennifer is ready for more. Within days of the collapse of the Twin Towers, "more" arrives in the form of an assignment in Germany. With no guarantees about tomorrow, Jennifer knows she must walk through the open door or risk losing the opportunity of a lifetime. The style of the memoir, The Devil Wears Clogs, reflects Jennifer's intellectual curiosity and wry sense of humor. A stranger in a land becoming increasingly hostile to Americans after the US decision to pursue war in Iraq, she must learn to adopt a balanced perspective of her native country. Jennifer leans on her professional strength and a heavy dose of sarcasm to navigate this unknown territory. Her faux pas are many before she begins to appreciate the true depth of the cultural divide. Jennifer contemplates that perhaps she must change and not an entire continent.
