"I'm profoundly in love with Jennifer Coburn's memoir We'll Always
Have Paris! From Coburn's picture-perfect travelogue to her
hilarious observations, she's woven together a powerful narrative
with a heartfelt and thoughtful examination of what truly makes a
family. I was enthralled from the very first page and I cannot
recommend this book highly enough. I want to read this again, tell
all my friends about it... and then renew my passport." - Jen
Lancaster, NYT bestselling author of Bitter is the New Black, The
Tao of Martha, and Here I Go Again
"This book touched me in a profound way. I lost my beloved father a
short time ago and I have been ruminating about all the trips we
never took together. Before my sisters and I were born, he traveled
the world and regaled us with tales all through our childhood. We
planned to see many of those same places together, but fate
intervened in the form of marriage and a child of my own. In the
end I can say that I am grateful that we shared so much time
together and that his stories will always live on in me. Thank you
Jennifer." - Cayocosta72
"We'll Always Have Paris reads like a sweet stroll through Europe
with a funny friend who shares touching stories of her parent-child
relationships. A great escape." - Janice MacLeod, author of Paris
Letters
"We'll Always Have Paris is simply brimming with joie de vivre!
From the very moment I embarked on Jennifer Coburn's delicious
Paris memoir, I wanted to travel back in time to when my own
daughter was eight years old, take her by the hand, and bring her
to Paris for the adventure of a lifetime. Well, until I have a
granddaughter, I have the next best thing--Jennifer Coburn's
gorgeous story of love, family and the ties that bind. I am
recommending this to all my friends and family and especially to my
own daughter. It's simply fantastique!" - Jamie Cat Callan, author
of Ooh La La! French Women's Secrets to Feeling Beautiful Every
Day
"Jennifer Coburn's We'll Always Have Paris takes us on two
journeys. One is a trés entertaining mother/daughter travel tale in
which Coburn brings their evolving relationship, and Europe, to
life with such vibrance, humor and insight, it made us want to pack
our bags and hit the road again tomorrow. She also takes us on an
internal journey chronicling her deep love and longing for the
adored hippie/musician father she lost to cancer as a teen. In
passages powerful, tender and funny - often in one sentence -
Coburn proves as adept at describing the terrain of the human heart
as she does the gardens of Alcazar or the streets of Paris." -
Claire and Mia Fontaine, authors of the bestselling Comeback and
Have Mother, Will Travel
"We'll Always Have Paris: A Mother/Daughter Adventure is a funny,
honest, sometimes kooky memoir by San Diegan Jennifer Coburn...to
read the book is to experience Europe anew, and relive all the
wonder that travel brings." - San Diego Magazine
"Jennifer's narration of their adventures is laugh-out-loud funny,
warm and touching-I thought of Nora Ephron and Anna Quindlen." -
Presidio Sentinel
"This poignant and very funny memoir chronicles their summers in
cities like Paris, London, Barcelona and Amsterdam, where they
overcome fears and challenges, journey off the beaten path and make
mother-daughter memories that will last a lifetime however long
or short that may be." - Midlife at the Oasis
"What made the book especially riveting, though, is how Coburn
interweaves the tales of their travels with memories of her late
father. She deftly ties in themes from their experiences to
memories from her childhood, and I marveled at how skilfully she
wove together the joyful and the difficult strands of her past.
I shut the book and began dreaming about where I'd love to take my
kids." - 4 Mothers 1 Blog
"Anyone can keep a travel journal but it takes a special talent for
crafting an engaging travel story worthy of inviting others on the
journey. We'll Always Have Paris: A Mother/Daughter Memoir by
Jennifer Coburn is not a flowery travel memoir about eating
croissants, sipping coffee in Parisian cafes, and wearing matching
berets in Paris. It's a lesson in living life and well worth the
read." - Solo Travel Girl
"Jennifer's adept and insightful descriptions of their surroundings
made me feel that I was right beside them during their adventures.
I felt her fears, her joy, and was reminded that some of the
smallest moments can be the most profound. I laughed, I cried, and
I dreamt of making more lasting memories with my own children. " -
Simple Smart Sane Mom
