Book Description

In a story that stands above the throngs of travel memoirs, full of gorgeous descriptions of Brittany and at times hysterical encounters with the locals, Mark Greenside describes his initially reluctant travels in this "heartwarming story" (San Francisco Chronicle) where he discovers a second life. When Mark Greenside—a native New Yorker living in California, political lefty, writer, and lifelong skeptic—is dragged by his girlfriend to a tiny Celtic village in Brittany at the westernmost edge of France in Finistère, or what he describes as "the end of the world," his life begins to change. In a playful, headlong style, and with enormous affection for the Bretons, Greenside shares how he makes a life for himself in a country where he doesn't speak the language or understand the culture. He gradually places his trust in the villagers he encounters—neighbors, workers, acquaintances—and he's consistently won over and surprised as he manages to survive day-to-day trials. From opening a bank account and buying a house to removing a beehive from the chimney, he begins to learn the cultural ropes, live among his neighbors, and make new friends. Until he came to this town, Greenside was lost, moving through life without a plan, already in his 40s with little money and no house. He lived as a skeptic who seldom trusts others and has an inclination to be alone. So when he settles into the rhythm of this new French culture—against the backdrop of Brittany's streets surrounded by gorgeous architecture and breathtaking landscapes—not only does he find a home and meaningful relationships in this French countryside, he finds himself. I'll Never Be French (no matter what I do) is both a new beginning and a homecoming for Greenside. It is a memoir about fitting in, not standing out; being part of something larger, not being separate from it; following, not leading. It explores the joys and adventures of living a double life. He has never regretted his journey and, as he advises to those searching for their next adventure, neither will you.

Book Description

The simplest "introduction to plant-based eating" cookbook with an approachable yet crave-worthy take on health-conscious cuisine. Two (former) competitive bodybuilders turned crunchy hippie mamas have joined forces to share health-forward recipes from their daily lifestyles. Amber, a 4X cover fitness model, influencer, mama and entrepreneur, and Brittany, wellness blogger, writer, mama and author, have learned over the years how to prepare healthy, plant-heavy meals for their families-- without sacrificing flavor. After winning over picky husbands, toddlers and friends alike, they were convinced to create a cookbook to help you fool your family and friends into healthier, plant-heavy eating, too! These recipes are for everyone! Hippie Eats caters to those with food allergies, sensitivities and dietary restrictions by being gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, fish-free, shellfish-free, soy-free and vegan-friendly. Although the great majority of the recipes are vegan, a handful of recipes are available for omnivores. All recipes that are not entirely vegan provide a simple 1:1 replacement. From sweet noms like strawberry cake donuts, simple smoothies and savory dishes, like creamy potato and kale soup, Hippie Eats will provide instant family classics. More than just a cookbook, this hippie mama duo has you covered by including a health-forward grocery list, sharing healthier swaps and nutrition tips to enhance your lifestyle for years to come. This isn't just a book of kale salads, it's a book with all the good stuff we know and love, with a healthier, hippie twist. "Everyone has a story and it all starts somewhere. This is ours. From "buff bodybuilding babes" with similar pasts of diet extremes, to finally achieving a balanced lifestyle in nutrition, health and total wellness. We believe the food we eat is more than just a meal, it's a conscious choice to nourish the body from the inside out. Because to us, health really is wealth. Eat like a hippie!" -Brittany Bacinski & Amber Fokken

Book Description

An unforgettable story of resilience and resistance set during WWII and present-day France on a secluded island off the coast of Brittany Natalie Morgen made a name for herself with a memoir about overcoming her harsh childhood after finding a new life in Paris. After falling in love with a classically trained chef, they moved together to his ancestral home, a tiny fishing village off the coast of Brittany. But then Francois-Xavier breaks things off with her without warning, leaving her flat broke and in the middle of renovating the guesthouse they planned to open for business. Natalie's already struggling when her sister, Alex, shows up unannounced. The sisters form an unlikely partnership to save the guesthouse, reluctantly admitting their secrets to each other as they begin to heal the scars of their shared past. But the property harbors hidden stories of its own. During World War II, every man of fighting age on the island fled to England to join the Free French forces. The women and children were left on their own...until three hundred German troops took up residence, living side-by-side with the French women on the tiny island for the next several years. When Natalie and Alex unearth an old cookbook in a hidden cupboard, they find handwritten recipes that reveal old secrets. With the help of locals, the Morgen sisters begin to unravel the relationship between Violette, a young islander whose family ran the guesthouse during WWII, and Rainier, a German military customs official with a devastating secret of his own.
