More Description

Deidre Brooks has forever been and continues to be an unapologetic straight shooter who never hesitates to tell you what is in her mind and on her heart. Not only chasing dreams, she chases life all the way to Murcia, Spain. The Corona Chronicles: Life Abroad During a Pandemic is a memoir that unpacks the effects of big events-her moving abroad, the rise of COVID-19, the challenges of lockdowns, the death of George Floyd and the rippling effects-within the small period of just six-months, their impact on her existence and how it stretched her not only as an educator, but grew her as a person.Opening each chapter with a quote-some famous, others literary, quite a few lyrical and ranging from the well-known to the obscure-sets the tone for expectation and discovery in each chapter. Then carefully, thoughtfully weaving them together, she creates a mosaic of experiences into a bigger picture while each piece stands alone in singularity. Telling a story as only she can, Deidre unveils strength through vulnerability and razor sharp wit. The Corona Chronicles: Life Abroad During a Pandemic is a second coming of age in a time where everything old is new, again.
