Sweet Astrid

More about the book

Be it backseat driving in Bangladesh, on a police chase in Ethiopia, or tramping through New Zealand on a midlife gap year, join Amy and her British husband "Sir" on their adventures throughout the world. Like a trekker's pack, this collection is stuffed together with humor, yet carefully layered with themes on privilege, maturity, regret, and self-compassion. Spanning more than a decade of her life overseas, follow Amy as she comes to grips with herself, her ego, and growing older in the world, without necessarily growing up.
