Review:

I can never get enough of true stories about people who stop in the middle of their life's journey to ask, What do I really want?' and then have the guts to actually go get it. Kathleen Flinn's tale of chasing her ultimate dream makes for a really lovely book engaging, intelligent and surprisingly suspenseful.
