Semester Abroad

by Joanne Jeffers Veeck

Based on a true story-From the young age of five, Joanne knew what she wanted and was determined to get it. A daughter of a top executive, she was expected to follow in her "big" sister's footsteps, and keep to the rules. She did anything but that. Joanne talked her way into going to a college in Europe and then became entangled in a physical and emotional tug of war that took a shocking turn. From skiing at world famous resorts in Switzerland, to the ritzy Champs-Elysees Boulevard in Paris, the red-light district in Amsterdam, and many other European marvels, Joanne and her college friends experienced the full gamut of a semester abroad. Both individually and as a group, a thin tight rope was walked, barely balanced by a web of troubles, including a near-death accident and many close calls. Joanne Jeffers Veeck In addition to authoring three children's books, Joanne co-authored Stepping Stones to Success with Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield, and a few other experts in the field of Positive Psychology. Semester Abroad is Joanne's first novel for young adults. Joanne holds a lifetime teacher's credential, is a certified Life Coach, a keynote speaker, and member of the National Speaker's Association (NSA).
