Chaperones (2013)

Andrea Lieberman's sheltered upbringing has left her afraid of her own shadow. So when she is offered an assignment as a photographer in England, Andrea decides it is time to see what life has to offer beyond the tiny world she has created for herself in Los Angeles. She heads to London armed with pepper spray and the question of whether or not to accept her boyfriend's proposal looming over her. Along with her two travel companions, Andrea makes her way through England photographing some of the country's most beautiful castles and cathedrals. As luck would have it though, nothing goes as planned and Andrea must cope with a series of disasters. Throughout the journey she develops a sense of self-reliance and discovers that she is capable of far more than she had ever expected. Chaperones is filled with witty dialogue and humorous comparisons between the British and American cultures, making it a very enjoyable read. (LB)
