SYNOPSIS
How her daughter and her passport taught Jennifer to live like there’s no tomorrow.
Jennifer Coburn has always been terrified of dying young. So she decides to save up and drop everything to travel with her daughter, Katie, on a whirlwind European adventure before it’s too late. Even though her husband can’t join them, even though she’s nervous about the journey, and even though she’s perfectly healthy, Jennifer is determined to jam her daughter’s mental photo album with memories—just in case.
From the cafés of Paris to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Jennifer and Katie take on Europe one city at a time, united by their desire to see the world and spend precious time together. In this heartwarming generational love story, Jennifer reveals how their adventures helped vanquish her fear of dying…for the sake of living. [provided by the author]

TOUR QUOTATIONS
The writing is intimate and accessible; it’s like listening to a friend tell you the story of her European vacation. It may inspire other parents to travel with their children or give people places to add to their bucket lists but it will certainly show people one way to learn to live in the moment and appreciate what you have in the here and now. This is definitely a sweet paean to memory: those that we already possess and those we are forever building.
It’s a sweet story, a mother and daughter experiencing Europe, their interactions, adventures, predicaments, fears. The sites visited were typical of a newbie traveler, nonetheless it was entertaining to read their thoughts and reactions.
if you’re looking for a fun read and something that will make you laugh, smile and genuinely feel good, I think this a book for you. And of course, if you like to read about travelling to place you’ve never been–most assuredly you’ll enjoy this.
