How to Survive a Brazilian Betrayal: a mother/daughter memoir

Written by Ehris Urban and Velya Jancz-Urban

Narrated by Ehris Urban and Velya Jancz-Urban

A kooky, gregarious mother and perceptive, poised daughter introduce readers to their offbeat Connecticut family, who follow their hearts to rural Brazil. Broke and broken, they're forced to return to the United States, and navigate their rebirth in a foreclosed 1770 New England farmhouse.

Hilariously honest and heart-wrenching, readers will fall in love with their spunk, feel the knockout punches of betrayal along with them, and be rooting for them to get back up off the mat.
