Expatriate Patriots: Memoirs of an American Mom

Planning on traveling abroad? With or without boa constrictors? If "Expatriate Patriots" is to be your guide, that's a real consideration. In the words of the author, "These reminiscences let the reader experience the joys of nurturing tarantulas in Bolivia, baboons in Kenya, jaguarundis and snakes in Mexico. Challenges in raising children and run-ins with the law show that minor setbacks need not spoil the adventure of living overseas. This is a love story, too -- of family, peoples and places -- told by a woman who has hugged the world around the middle." Better yet, do your traveling vicariously. Curl up with these hilarious memoirs of one family's awesome experiences in all those places you've always thought about going... with or without the boas.
