TRANQUILA
By Amy Breen
Drinking glasses of cava in the sunshine, indulging in delicious tapas, and learning Spanish with ease is what Amy Breen, a hard-charging physician and mother of three, expected of life in Spain. But when she and her young family move to Barcelona, the tranquilo lifestyle of their new country has other ideas for her. Join Amy and her family in their mishaps and adventures living in Barcelona and traveling throughout Europe, and watch as Amy openly and with a self- deprecating humor unfolds her struggles in her transition from a handle-it-all doctor and mother in the States to full-time parent who needs her kids to translate for her. The tranquilo way of life is Amy’s adversary, and then teacher, in this humorous personal and family journey.
