It started as a promising new chapter. But after her body and her spouse betrayed her, getting a happy ending would be her biggest challenge. Listed as one of Goodreads best books for a book club, Kirchner delivers an unflinching look at turn-of-the-century expatriate life in Qatar. New edition. "Like Eat Pray Love, but funny," -NPR LL Kirchner was excited for change. Taking work in Qatar to pave the way for her husband to join her after his newspaper folded, the thirty-eight-year-old American journalist hoped to improve education for Muslim women while building a nest egg to start a family. But after months of struggling with Middle Eastern patriarchy, communication problems, and constant heat exhaustion, the intrepid ex-pat was stunned to discover she'd entered early menopause. Devastated when the diagnosis meant she could never have children, Kirchner and her spouse sought fertility treatments to fight nature's cruel blow. But after a vacation to Turkey convinced them to return to the U.S., she suffered another emotional gut-punch when he decided he wanted a divorce. Abandoned in the Persian Gulf, would this woman reeling from loss find a way to recover? In this darkly comedic memoir, LL Kirchner recounts her extraordinary transformation in a harrowing crucible. And as she journeys from hope to betrayal to peace, you'll laugh and cry at her remarkable redirection from seeking approval to loving herself. American Lady Creature is a fascinating account of one woman's hard-earned redemption. If you like moving narratives, honest confessions, and emerging triumphant from darkness, then you'll adore this book. Buy American Lady Creature to experience this empowering, unforgettable reinvention story. "I hoped moving to Qatar would change everything," she writes. "Until it did."
