Around the World for My Son: Part Two

By Guillaume Garreau

What begins as a modern love story; built on WhatsApp messages, shared playlists, and Neruda poems sent across the Bay, becomes something far more urgent.

Around the World for My Son: Part Two picks up where the first volume left off, deepening the portrait of Guillaume Garreau's life with Sana and their infant son Maximilien. Through thousands of real messages, grocery runs, sleepless nights, and small tender moments, Guillaume documents the quiet beauty of early parenthood, and the slow, unmistakable unraveling of the family he fought so hard to build.

As the relationship fractures under the weight of emotional abuse, family interference, and escalating conflict, Guillaume's diary entries capture what the text messages could not: the fear, the confusion, and the desperate love of a father watching his world collapse in real time. From midnight diaper changes to police calls, from citizenship ceremonies to locked doors, this memoir lays bare the full cost of a love that turned dangerous, and a father's refusal to disappear from his son's life.

This is not a story of heroes and villains. It is a raw, unflinching account of how ordinary life can splinter overnight, and what it means to fight for a child across continents, court systems, and the unbearable silence of unanswered calls.
