I agree… I feel like I’m a part of her story. I love that. Your review looks great and I’m sure it doesn’t give away too much. I was just being overly cautious. I’ll be back in a few days. 😀

I totally understand. My review maybe gives away too much 😉 But this is a review and not an advert, so it’s somehow expected to be like that. I’m really glad you like the book. Melissa captured me from the first pages. Her style is unique and when I read the book I felt like being part of her story. – Yes, please, come back once you’ve finished it and leave a comment. Enjoy every page 🙂

She just moved to Paris. I absolutely love this book!!! I don’t find too many books that I enjoy so much but this one… I can’t put down. I have three little children of my own, I love to travel (haven’t since my oldest was born), being with family and learning languages and European cultures so I can’t stop thinking about this book. I’m so happy that designmom suggested this book. 🙂 I’ll come back to your blog and read your review when I’m done with the book. 🙂

By the way…. true, this book is a must have. I keep telling my husband you have to read this chapter or that chapter…

Thank you very much, Don, for this compliment. I agree: Global Mom is a must have and must read, not only for families experiencing a global life, but for everyone.

Melissa Dalton-Bradford won my heart over with her written and photograph enriched WordPress blog, really quite exquisite in itself, and now a dream is born…Global Mom is a must have…a powerful, compelling true story that needs telling.
