Blossoming in Provence

For American Kristin Espinasse, every encounter with the Frenchincluding her own familyis a chance to learn more than a country's language or etiquetteit is an opportunity for growth. Follow along with Kristin as she meets and overcomes obstacles along the path to French integration: sit on the edge of your seat at her wedding, when her future husband's ex shows up in a slinky dress; buckle your seat-belt when she takes the French Drivers exam; share a slice of humble pie with her as her children enlighten her, in their native tongue, about the mystery and meaning of la vie en rose. Espinasse recounts her adventures with honesty and humor, never afraid to have a good laugh at her own expense. Publishers Weekly
