Description: "In the 1960s and '70s, thousands of baby boomers strapped packs to their backs and flocked to Europe, wandering the continent on missions of self-discovery. Many of these boomers still dream of "going back"--of once again cutting themselves free and revisiting the places they encountered in their youth, recapturing what was, and creating fresh memories along the way. Marianne Bohr and her husband, Joe, did just that. Touching on universal themes of escape, adventure, freedom, discovery, and life reimagined, Gap year girl is an exciting account of a couple's experiences on an unconventional, past the blush-of-youth journey"--Back cover.
