Following a successful career in marketing she decided to leave it all behind and follow her dreams. Arriving in the Dominican Republic as a scuba diving instructor, for a six-month contract, she ended up staying and married a Dominican, becoming a stepmother to three young boys. She was then shot in her own home during a burglary and, following a long fight against corruption along with her husband, left the life of an expat in a tourist resort to live, first, in a Dominican town and then in the mountains. Lindsay published the highly successful memoir, What About Your Saucepans? in 2013 - about the first ten years of her life in the Dominican Republic - and now lives high up in the Dominican mountains, on a small farm, with her husband Danilo, three dogs, two cats, one permanent and one temporary foster child and too many chickens to count. She works as a writer, translator and marketing consultant. Lindsay writes a blog about the Dominican Republic and daily life at: www.yoursaucepans.blogspot.com.\"","brand":"Springtime Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50414607270162,"sku":"9780995502741","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_87233bd0-1ce2-4b54-a760-a97071de987f.jpg?v=1729374775","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/life-after-my-saucepans-lifting-the-lid-on-living-in-the-dominican-republic-9780995502741","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
