Today was one of those unforgettable moments for any author — seeing my book, Maternity Abroad: Becoming a Mother in a Foreign Land, proudly displayed at the warm and welcoming Livraria Tesouro in Crissier, Switzerland. A cozy literary café where stories come alive over books and coffee.
But it wasn’t just a visit — it was a gathering of hearts. Conversations with fellow expat parents turned into reflections about identity, belonging, and the unseen layers of becoming a parent far from home.
✨ Seeing my book among other meaningful reads felt like a full-circle moment. What started as a solitary journey has now touched readers in over 13 countries.
