Peanut Butter and Naan

Fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants mom Jennifer Magnuson knew her spoiled suburban brood needed a wake-up call-she just couldn't find the time to fit one in. But when her husband was offered a position in India she saw it for what it was: the perfect opportunity for her family to unplug from their over-scheduled and pampered lives in Nashville and gain some much-needed perspective. What she didn't realize was how much their time in India would transform her as well.A combination of Eat Pray Love and Modern Family with a dash of Chelsea Handler thrown in for good measure Peanut Butter and Naan is Magnuson's hilarious look at the chaos of parenting against a backdrop of malaria extreme poverty and no conveniences of any kind-and her story of rediscovering herself and revitalizing her connection with those she loves the most. In India after years of parenting under a cloud of anxiety Magnuson found a renewed sense of adventure and fearlessness (a discovery that was totally worth the many months of hiding anti-malarial medication in her kids' morning oatmeal) and started to become the mother she'd always hoped to be. Hers is a story about motherhood that will not only make you laugh and nod with recognition-it will inspire you to fall in love with your own family all over again.
