Features: This is a story of an American adult woman achieving her self-dream. To pursue this dream, she left her affluent American upper-class life, broke up with her husband of over 20 years, sold her property, and became a modern-day "nomad." She lived in the Zapoteco village in Mexico, slept among birds and sea lions on the Galápagos Islands, and sought spiritual solace in the presence of parrots. Across the lands of Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Israel, Indonesia, New Zealand, Canada, and Thailand, she left her determined footsteps. At every destination, she immersed herself in the local community, learned the language, experienced the culture, and presented her stories and scenes filled with joy and sorrow to modern readers. Her vibrant "nomadic" life inspires readers to follow their dreams and rediscover the inner world of adults who have closed their hearts after growing up.
