All Abroad: 3 Kids, 2 Years, 1 New Perspective; An American Family in Paris

By Toni McClintock

When Toni blurts out, "Let's move to Paris!" as Dave walks in the front door, Dave wonders, "Paris... as in France? Now?" Is his wife having a mid-life crisis? Can Toni, a minivan driving Mom with three over-scheduled kids and a ball-obsessed, hyperactive dog find the "more" out of life she is looking for by moving to Paris? With this idea in mind, Toni and Dave pluck their three children from the life they've always known in sunny Santa Barbara, California, and drop them into a new and very different life in Paris, France. With the exception of Dave, none of the family could speak a word of French. In Paris the children were enrolled in a French school; the family moved into a tiny apartment and used public transportation for the first time in their lives. They knew there would be challenges, but nothing could prepare them for what they'd encounter during their two years in The City of Light. ALL ABROAD is like a reality show about an American family in Paris. Through her perceptions and reflections, Toni depicts what life is like for her and her family; the struggles and culture shock, the fun and the mishaps. She is not afraid to give you a laugh at her expense. If you've ever dreamed of an adventure like theirs, ALL ABROAD offers a roadmap to the experience of a lifetime.
