Publisher Description: "A Year in the Netherlands" explores what makes European society unique from the American experience. It describes the progress of an African American woman living in the Netherlands and traveling through Europe with her three boys and husband. It is much more than a family album, highlighting cultures and societies much different from the United States. This book is for anyone who likes an easy flow and not just an arm chair travel book - it reads like a personal friend has taken you along to see, hear, taste and feel a new experience outside the U.S.A. She is a wife and a mother who is supportive of her husband and children. You will learn a great deal from her observations, discoveries and challenges. This family adventure offers a unique perspective on living abroad while navigating the school system, wonderful countries and new customs. It is both educational and informative. After all that we even managed a 18-day cruise to the Caribbean |
