Dear Land of the Free

A Love Letter from a French Woman Who Fell in Love with the U.S.

90+ pages written straight from my heart to show you what America really is — not through politics or clichés, but through the way it makes you feel in every cell of your being.

What happens when a Frenchwoman who never dreamed of living in the U.S. suddenly finds herself utterly in love with it?

This book is the answer.

Dear Land of the Free is not about tourism, nor politics. It’s about what happens when a place cracks you open, heals you, and gives you back to yourself. From the open roads to the oversized cars, from Costco aisles to Amish markets, from the vast silence of landscapes to the kindness of strangers — it’s a letter of gratitude to a country that changed everything.

Through these pages, you’ll step into a raw, personal journey — one that speaks of freedom, faith, joy, heartbreak, and healing.

If you love the U.S. — or if you’ve ever fallen for a place, or been transformed by a journey — this book is for you.

Digital format only — available worldwide.

It’s a raw and honest reflection of what I lived, saw, and felt during my time in the U.S. — from the thrill of driving wide open roads to the kindness of strangers that makes you feel lighter than air.

Inside the pages, you’ll discover…

  • 90+ heartfelt pages of personal writing — raw, intimate, and unfiltered.

  • Photo moments from my journey — little slices of America captured through my lens.

Why I wrote Dear Land of The Free?

In 2024, I moved to the United States because I fell in love with someone. It wasn’t part of the plan — I had never dreamed of living in the U.S. It just… happened because I followed him.

And a few months in, I won’t lie: I struggled. Adapting to this country wasn’t easy. It felt complex, unfamiliar, and at times, overwhelming. And yet — the more I stayed, the more I opened up. The more I shared my journey on social media,
the more I realized something unexpected was happening: I wasn’t just falling for a person anymore. I was falling for the land.

Slowly, I started noticing all the little things that made this country special. I discovered a new way of living. A new rhythm. And in many ways — it healed me. Deeply.

I shared everything on Instagram — the beauty I saw in everyday moments. And what struck me most… was how many Americans hadn’t noticed those things themselves.

Now that I’m far from it, I miss it more than I thought possible. And that distance has only made my love clearer, deeper, louder.

I wrote this book to share that love — especially now, because I know the U.S. doesn’t always have the best image abroad. And I don’t think that’s fair. Or helpful. Or complete.

This book isn’t here to glorify. It’s here to offer nuance. To shine a little light in a time that often feels dark. To remind us of what’s still beautiful, still human, still worth seeing.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it.
