Features: This is a story of an American adult woman achieving her self-dream. To pursue this dream, she left her affluent upper-class life in America, broke up with her husband after 20 years of marriage, sold her assets, and became a modern-day "nomad." She lived in the Zapotec village in Mexico, slept among birds and sea lions on the Galápagos Islands, and sought spiritual solace in the presence of the 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 communities, learned the languages, experienced the cultures, and presented to modern readers the stories and scenes filled with joy and sorrow. Her vibrant "nomadic" life inspires readers to follow their dreams and rediscover the inner world of adults that we often close off.
