When her husband was appointed by President Barack Obama to be U.S.
Ambassador to Spain and Andorra, Susan Solomont uprooted herself. She
left her career, her friends and family, and a life she loved to join
her husband for a three-and-a-half-year tour overseas. Part memoir and
part travelogue, Solomont learns the rules of a diplomatic household;
goes on a culinary adventure with some of Spain's greatest chefs; finds
her place in the Madrid Jewish community; and discovers her own voice to
create new meaning in her role as a spouse, a community member, and a
21st century woman.
