| book description |

Glamour magazine called Come Back, the first nonfiction collaboration by Claire and Mia Fontaine, the ""best mother-daughter memoir,"" while the New York Times Book Review praised it as, ""a testament to the power of the love."" The Fontaines are back with Have Mother, Will Travel, a beautiful, thoughtful, insightful, inspiring book that brilliantly captures the changing relationship between a mother and her adult daughter. Seen within the context of an unforgettable round-the-world adventure, the emotional milestones reached and the new understandings and appreciations achieved will warm the heart and nourish the soul--an extraordinary journey that should not be missed by armchair travelers and by mothers and daughters everywhere. What happens when a mother's midlife crisis collides with her daughter's quarter-life crisis on a trip around the world? A Mother-Daughter Memoir, Take Two: After baring their souls in their first book, Claire and Mia are back. This time, they're navigating the changing dynamic between a mother and her fully grown (and often exasperated) adult daughter. Midlife Meets Quarter-Life Crisis: Claire is fifty and impulsively fleeing a life she no longer recognizes. Mia is twenty-five and has no idea what to do with hers. A trip around the world seems like the perfect escape... for both of them. Funny, Witty, and Relatable: From battles over packing lists to navigating traveler's diarrhea in China, this travelogue is filled with the hilarious ""Bitchy & Bossy"" moments that every mother and daughter will recognize. Round-the-World Adventure: Join the Fontaines on a Global Scavenger Hunt across four continents, from swimming with elephants in Malaysia to exploring the pyramids in Cairo and discovering family history in Budapest.
