Product Description
by Dina Honour (Author)
Sometimes, I feel like I traded in my life for my husband's.
He got a life upgrade, and I got...a toaster.
I was supposed to be something. Now, I'm just an expat spouse.
Dina Honour never imagined a life outside of New York City, yet with one momentous decision, she trades her independent Brooklyn life for a life that feels worth a little...less. As she and her family move from country to country, she unpacks--not just the boxes and the books but her ideas about what it means to find yourself in unexpected places.
Honour writes with poignant honesty about the loss of identity she experienced when she moved abroad. Using landscapes, history, and cultural observations as stepping stones, she sets out to pave a road back, if not to New York, at least to herself.
It's a Lot to Unpack is about one woman's determination to write herself back into the story amid all the moving parts that make up a life.
