My Life on the French Riviera, Unfiltered: Life Beyond the Postcards - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The postcards show the sea, the light, the cafés. They don’t show the ache of an empty nest back home, or the strange vertigo of building a new life in a language and culture that still catches you off guard, or the grief that follows you across an ocean and finds you anyway.
Sandi Duverneuil felt the pull to move to France long before she understood it, a frequency she couldn’t quite ignore. This is the story of what happened when she finally answered it: learning to belong somewhere new, the collision between a French workplace and an American headquarters, the loss of her mother across the ocean, and the unexpected comfort of a rescue cat.
It’s also the story of choosing herself: from pétanque afternoons with students and small daily discoveries, to the moment she stepped away to return to Penn State Global, carrying everything she’d learned about identity, belonging, and home.
My Life on the French Riviera, Unfiltered is an unflinching, tender account of what it really takes to build a life abroad. Not the postcard version, but the real one.
