At Home At Los Islotes
Finding Our Way On This Veraguas Coast
In 2008, Kathleen Peddicord and her husband Lief Simon set out in search of a legacy-level investment play in Panama. They targeted the frontier western coast of the Azuero Peninsula, in the country’s Veraguas Province. The finca known as Los Islotes was its jewel. Pulling the trigger on its purchase was a bolder move than the couple realized. The decision set them on a course that brought them face to face with the real Panama—the good, the bad, and the sometimes very ugly—while connecting them with a lost world where the way of life was little changed from its centuries-old indigenous roots. Kathleen and Lief’s plan to reinvent that reality would lead to both the biggest challenges and the greatest rewards of their lives.

At Home In Ireland
A coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever dreamed of fairy-tale adventures in the Old World
At Home In Ireland follows Kathleen’s first-hand experience moving her entire family overseas from the U.S. to Ireland, adapting to and embracing a new culture and a new way of life. It is filled with heartwarming stories, adventure, and humorous anecdotes. At 357 pages, the book is segmented into 34 short chapters, each focused on a significant turning point in Kathleen’s life.
“I wanted to share my experience moving, raising a family, and starting a business abroad as a thank-you to the people of this enigmatic country. Life among the Irish forces you to focus, as they do, on what really matters. Seven years in Waterford gave me the foundation upon which I’ve built my life.”
