Query: Funny and sweet with a little kick

I was given this book as a gift, and it is not like most of the dark books I read - Swedish mysteries being my current binge. I was thrilled to find such an enjoyable book that compelled me to read. Each chapter is a vignette that is funny or touching or both, and I found myself really identifying with the author and her family. I think this book will have appeal far beyond the "travel" genre, and recommend it to all.
