    Praise for this political thriller.—Lisa McCombs for Readers’ Favorite Every president has secrets. Some secrets have a life of their own. After the death of his wife, former president Anthony Morris moves to Montana to spend his final days in anonymity, writing his memoirs—his final legacy to his estranged and combative daughter. But these aren't the normal memoirs of a presidency, and he can't shake the nightmares that haunt him or the loose ends of his past. The more he writes, the more convinced he becomes that he can't trust anyone, not even those closest to him. A successful attorney representing one of the top international NGOs, Stella Morris gave up on a relationship with her father a long time ago. But when she resigns from a prominent case, she sets in motion events that will put both her and her father in danger.

    And yes, there are lots of books about living in France out there already. But a lot of these are the short-term adventures of single people or retired couples or tourists. Moving abroad for good with a family, and without a pension, is a whole new ball game. That’s what makes Heads Above Water different. It’s about us, a family with three children, who stick the hardships out and make things start to work. It’s about actually making a living in a new country. It’s realistic, honest and gritty – but also fun, lively and very entertaining, and, I hope, ultimately inspiring.
