When Suzy Gershman is suddenly widowed, she pulls up stakes and moves to the City of Light. Part travelogue, part memoir, Gershman uses the skills she developed while writing her hugely successful Born to Shop travel books. She is strikingly honest as a woman who feels lost after her husband’s death, and decides to start over somewhere new. I have read and re-read this book several times in the last decade, and loved it each time. Covering everything from grief, language barriers, dealing with foreign bureaucracies to trying to buy a mattress in Paris, C’est la Vie is a touching account of a woman’s journey through widowhood, far from home.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
