 O tym, jakich pytań nie zadawać nieznajomym, jak być dobrym gościem, kiedy Polak zostaje starym kawalerem i dlaczego Amerykanie nie proszą o pomoc – razem z autorką przekraczamy ocean znaczeń i wdzieramy się w dżunglę kulturowych symboli polskiego przylądka.
 Weranda pełna słońca to słodko-gorzka książka o życiu kobiety, w której każda z nas może odnaleźć cząstkę siebie. Opowiada o stracie i cierpieniu, ale także o wybaczaniu, rodzącej się miłości i nie zawsze prostych kontaktach z rodziną.
