Book Description | When her husband was appointed by President Barack Obama to be U.S. Ambassador to Spain and Andorra, Susan Solomont uprooted herself. She left her career, her friends and family, and a life she loved to join her husband for a three-and-a-half-year tour overseas. Part memoir and part travelogue, Solomont learns the rules of a diplomatic household; goes on a culinary adventure with some of Spain's greatest chefs; and discovers her own voice to create new meaning in her role as a spouse, a community member, and a 21st century woman. |

This powerful portrait of perseverance and courage is a great gift as we navigate new changes and challenges in our life's journey." --Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House |
