My Memoir is Out on Amazon!
My book is published! I wrote a whole book!
And this is the second-most exciting thing I’ve ever done after having children. It’s even more exciting than traveling the world!
Here’s my friend Greta, together with her adorable daughter, getting my book in the mail. She was kind enough to offer to do a book review for me. (She blogs at G*Funk*ified). And Greta got her copy before anyone else, including me!
Since I’m still waiting for mine to arrive, it was nice to see it in photo form, especially blessed by those grins.
You might have read the book as a series on my blog, starting last January. I’ve since removed it – or at least, I’m working on removing it. But even if you’ve already read it, I’ve made changes based on the suggestions of a professional editor. Hopefully this will bring the story to life by making it more coherent .
This is what the back cover says:
At seventeen, Jennie Goutet has a dream that she will one day marry a French man and sets off to Avignon in search of him. Though her dream eludes her, she lives boldly—teaching in Asia, studying in Paris, working and traveling for an advertising firm in New York.
When God calls her, she answers reluctantly, and must first come to grips with crippling loss, depression, and addiction before being restored. Serendipity takes her by the hand and she marries her French husband, works with him in a humanitarian effort in East Africa, before settling down in France and building a family.
Told with honesty and strength, A Lady in France is a brave heart-stopping story of love, grief, faith, depression, sunshine piercing the gray clouds—and hope that stays in your heart long after it’s finished.
And this is from three of my published friends who were sweet enough to give me a review:
“Jennie Goutet weaves her tale with passion, humor and heart-wrenching honesty—sometimes so raw you have to look away, but then you can’t wait to look back.” Shari Simpson, comedy writer for Nickelodeon
“In this beautiful memoir, Jennie Goutet details the evolution of one woman’s faith and love in a singular story that is—at once—both intensely personal and universal in its themes. I soared and plunged along with her from beginning to end.” Julie C. Gardner, co-author of You Have Lipstick on Your Teeth
“Jennie’s honest and touching words drew me in from the very first page. A must read!” Kerstin Auer, author of The immigrant’s ABC
You can buy my memoir by clicking on the book cover here:
which leads you to amazon.com, or by going to the amazon website in your country and typing “A Lady in France” in the book section.
And if you like it, will you kindly spread the word on Facebook and leave me a review on Amazon or GoodReads? Without a highly paid publicist, the only way for people to even know the book exists is through word of mouth.
Thank you!
