An American In Tbilisi (E-Book)

An American in Tbilisi is a moving memoir that captures one man’s journey of healing, reinvention, and belonging in a foreign land. After the loss of his wife, John Matthews leaves behind his familiar life in New Jersey and seeks solace in the enchanting city of Tbilisi, Georgia. What begins as an escape soon becomes a profound transformation as he discovers the warmth of Georgian culture, the resilience of its people, and the unexpected friendship of Anna—his guide, confidante, and anchor through grief.

From the cobblestone streets of Old Tbilisi to the tranquil trails of Vake Park, from the sulfur baths of Abanotubani to the breathtaking mountains of Kazbegi, John’s journey is both a travel memoir and a story of the human spirit’s ability to heal. With humor, honesty, and deep reflection, he learns that home is not just a place it’s where we allow ourselves to grow, connect, and begin again.

A heartfelt blend of memoir, travel writing, and cultural exploration, this book invites readers to embrace the unknown and find meaning in life’s second chances.
