Not your typical Story About An American Abroad.

Instead, Marcie Maxfield pulls back the curtain on the globe-trotting world of an expat wife to explore issues of marriage and compromise. Moving backward and forward—both in time and between cities and countries—Em’s Awful Good Fortune is woven together thematically: love, loss and betrayal, sexual assault and the lasting impact of PTSD. Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, Detroit, Los Angeles and Seoul. A voice-driven narrative that is raw, comic and authentic. True to life, this is a disorderly journey—One that ultimately arrives at a new understanding of self-love and the complexity of relationships.
