Surviving Widowhood with Writing, Reading, Soccer and Bilingualism

My dear, soccer-playing, profoundly Christian, Colombian husband died in 2005, leaving me with two beautiful boys, Gabriel, 15, and Mario, 13, to raise. As I mourn my husband's loss, I am looking for balance. I need to work as a writer, be a good mother/father, play and teach my sons Spanish!

I am thrilled to report that We Visit Colombia, by book about Colombia for upper elementary school children, has been published.
I lived in Colombia with my two sons for the 2007-2008 school year and although it is a country with a lot of problems, I really loved it there.
The book covers Colombia's history, economy and political system, as well as other aspects of Colombia, such as the amazing wildlife and the wonderful festivals.
It is part of a series called Your Land and My Land.
