Lindsay de Feliz walked away from an enviable lifestyle - marriage,
successful career, expensive holidays, designer clothes, fast cars
- to pursue her dream of being a SCUBA diving instructor. She could
not have predicted the journey ahead when she arrived in the heat,
sunshine and vibrant culture of the Dominican Republic. She found
love, a ready-made family and - despite being shot in a bungled
robbery - a desire to help the Dominican people, many living in
abject poverty. She supported her husband as he ran for political
office and with Lindsay by his side they were a formidable team. As
the campaign gathered momentum, they learnt the hard way what
happens when you oppose those in power. Fighting corruption,
double-dealing and with their lives at risk, they were forced into
hiding. Their incredible story is stranger than fiction and twice
as menacing. The dark underbelly of the Dominican Republic is
exposed, from the tourist beaches to the soaring mountains of the
interior. Lindsay tells it how it is, but in the telling her deep
love for the Dominican Republic, its culture and its people shines
through. "What About Your Saucepans? is not only essential reading
for anyone moving to the Dominican Republic, it's also a damn good
read. Lindsay de Feliz's fight against political corruption, being
shot and almost losing everything is one of the most inspiring
expat stories I have ever read." Jamie Morris, Founder,
ExpatFocus.com "Despite the incredible setbacks she has faced,
Lindsay's love and loyalty for her adopted country radiate through
this entertaining chronicle of her eventful life in the DR." Ilana
Benady, co-author, Expat FAQs: Moving to and Living in the
Dominican Republic (Summertime Publishing 2011) "Lindsay's
adventures in the DR will shock and amuse in equal measure, and her
vast knowledge of the country makes this a hugely entertaining
memoir." Shelley Antscherl, Book reviewer, Dutchnews.nl
