Bonjour, Happiness!

As a middle-aged woman living in youth-obsessed America, Jamie Cat Callan went to France to find answers for aging gracefully and to find joy in her imperfect body. Her mission was not to find the Fountain of Youth, but to find the Fountain of Happiness. From the point-of-view of an innocent abroad - searching for inspiration from the French and particularly French women - Bonjour, Happiness! is Callan's journey through France as she struggles with weight, body image, accepting middle age, coping with a new marriage at 50 and rediscovering her French heritage.
