Books
Published in 2018, There’s Some Place Like Home is a collection of essays based on our first decade abroad. It’s a front row seat to the ups and downs of a life lived on the move.
It’s a Lot to Unpack, published in 2023, is a narrative memoir that digs deeper into the ways that the decision to move abroad–what I call our international origin story–sent my life into a tail spin. The book follows our journey from country to country with historical and cultural observations, but running alongside those physical moves is the journey to rediscover the woman I left behind.
In late 2025, I published This is a Love Song, a collection of work about life on the “B” side. Take the observations of an aging Gen Xer, generously season it with ’80s nostalgia, and what you get is a mixtape in book form. From marriage and menopause to playlists and musings about zombie apocalypses, like the best mixtape, somehow, it all works.
Happy reading!
