Publisher's Summary

What if you curated the perfect life, only to have it crumble?

What if in that rubble, you begin to question everything?

When all you thought you were is stripped away, how do you find yourself once more?

Well, if you’re Stephanie Wilson, you sell all your possessions and set sail around the world for 115 days seeking answers. But when big adventures end with bigger questions, truly finding yourself becomes the ultimate test of resilience.

From big waves on the horizon overflowing with possibility, to the lonely wooden park benches of New York City, Stephanie’s journey to learn how to trust her intuition and forge ahead in an unstable world will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever had the sinking feeling that there must be more to life—along with the relentless will to find the answer.

Come for the exciting world cruise. Stay for the harrowing aftermath that leaves you amazed and inspired.

Andy Frye, write for Rolling Stone and Forbes calls it, "a conjuring of Jack Kerouac with a smarter, more feminine tone. It’s a good read for anyone who loves travel lit with a cozy and sometimes frightening look at post-modern life."
