Description

There's a lot of shame that comes from being an immigrant. Shame that I don't think anyone should feel, but it's still there. For months, I was ashamed of not being able to get a job without a work permit or asking my fianc to sign a new document almost every single day.

I thought being an Au Pair was hard enough, but it turned out that not being one was even harder.

Being in love made things even more complicated. When I was leaving Europe, I never would have imagined falling for a "Tinder guy" and moving to Virginia. Still, despite everything, I believe our story is a beautiful one. And I'm so happy to share it with the world for the second time.

Green Card Marriage was published for the first time in March 2020, about a week before the pandemic hit the United States. It was my first attempt to be a writer. And, to be fair, a very imperfect attempt. Over the years, I kept on writing and learning. I got an Associate's Degree and downloaded Grammarly. That's exactly why I decided to re-publish my very first book. Many lessons have been learned. And these days, telling this story the right way seems to be more important than ever before.
