Not Rio Again! is the story of family life in a variety of countries and cultures, from Indonesia, Brazil, Nicaragua, Irian Jaya, Pakistan and Ecuador, to Jamaica. In her first book, The Long Road, Cathy Williams Goforth describes how she set out as a young girl to see the world, never imagining that it would be possible to travel for a lifetime. The richness of her experience was increased when she continued her travels with a family. The product of parents of differing cultures, her children are nowadays known as Third Culture Kids, unique citizens of the world.

While sailing around the Caribbean, Cathy Williams Goforth reflects on a life of travel and adventure that began in Australia as a young girl. It led to Africa during the turbulent 1970's, England, and Yemen. The Long Road morphed into a voyage that continually draws her back to Jamaica.
