Jenny's Daughter

De: Jaqi Wade

Narrado por: Pamela Wolken

Life on two continents....

Raised in depression-era California, Jaqi Wade's family life wasn't easy, but they managed. She married her marine at the end of WWII and set about making a home wherever life took them. She never imagined taking her three children to live in Brazil.

No amount of studying could adequately prepare them to deal with the shock of life at a different pace - a different language, a different culture, a different system of measurement where a slight miscalculation could give you five pounds of ground beef instead of one. There was a lot of spaghetti that night. And always, there were those uma problemas, the "little problems", that were never really little.

Jaqi saw the social changes in the United States during the '60s and '70s only as international headlines. When she returned home after 20 years in Brazil, she was utterly unprepared for the phenomenon of reverse culture shock in a land where the language had become strange and everything had changed.

Meet Jenny, and spend some time getting to know her daughter, Jaqi, through her incredible adventures to Brazil and back again!

A son of Jaqi.

I learned a lot about life from my mom as we all should. Most of all I learned of God and Liberty.
