Glamour magazine called Come Back, the first nonfiction collaboration by Claire and Mia Fontaine, the “best mother-daughter memoir,” while the New York Times Book Review praised it as, “a testament to the power of the love.”
The Fontaines are back with Have Mother, Will Travel, a beautiful, thoughtful, insightful, inspiring book that brilliantly captures the changing relationship between a mother and her adult daughter. Seen within the context of an unforgettable round-the-world adventure, the emotional milestones reached and the new understandings and appreciations achieved will warm the heart and nourish the soul—an extraordinary journey that should not be missed by armchair travelers and by mothers and daughters everywhere.
What happens when a mother hitting her life’s restart button and a daughter questioning her own future pack their bags—and their baggage—for a trip around the world?
- Midlife Meets Quarter-Life Crisis: With Claire facing fifty and Mia questioning... everything, their clashing perspectives on life, love, and larvae-infested rivers make for a funny and relatable journey.
- The Global Scavenger Hunt: From China to Egypt, follow the Fontaines on a high-stakes scavenger hunt across four continents that tests their wits, their patience, and their relationship.
- Hilarious Travel Disasters: Whether it’s an ill-advised camel ride in a skirt or drinking tap water in Beijing, if something can go wrong on this trip, it probably will.
- Dual Mother-Daughter POV: Told in their alternating, deeply personal, and often contradictory voices, this memoir explores who they are becoming—both to each other and to themselves.
