This book is all about the author's spiritual, emotional, and sexual awakening after a divorce that she didn't want. In order to figure out the rest of her life she sets off traveling on her own. Her travels take her to several countries in Southeast Asia where she parties, has sex, and eventually meditates long and hard enough letting God into her life again as she realizes that she is on her way to a better and fuller life.I was impressed with all of the traveling that the author did on her own. I found myself getting hooked a few times as she describes in detail the places and people that she gets to know through all of her adventures. Almost reading like a journal, her musings, thoughts, and cliches follow each of her experiences allowing her to learn something from each one of them (no matter how wild and crazy).As an author of a memoir I know how difficult it can be to put yourself, your life, and your thoughts and dreams out there for everyone to read and analyze. I give the author a lot of credit for writing about all of it-the random guys, the carefree sex, the aloneness, and the pain she felt over her divorce.This is a book about the author's love of travel and her travel adventures, but mostly it is a book about her quest to find and believe in herself.Jill Dobbe, AuthorHere We Are & There We Go: Teaching and Traveling With Kids in Tow
