Sometimes humerous sometimes heartbreaking a woman leaves everything she knows to leave her home and family and re discover herself. This is about the journey of one woman and the issues of the heart that transform all women. A good read for those of us over the age of 50 that are feeling old!

I took this book out of the library after reading a summary in the Isabella (wonderful books and spirit lifting products) catalog. As my husband was driving home I was reading the back cover.. Oh my goodness, why didn't just by myself a copy? I was hooked before I even read it and it didn't disappoint me. Now I buy all of Berg's books from Isabella when they list them. I also buy copies of this one to give to all my friends as we move from 30 something to 40... "I am on a trip. I needed all of a suddent to go, without saying where, because I don't know where. I know this is not like me. I know that. But please believe me, I am safe and I am not crazy, I felt as though if I didn't do this I wouldn't be safe and I would be crazy. And can you believe this? I love you."
Wow. Its a great read and all your girlfriends will love it too.

This book spoke to me as a middle-aged woman. I read it in one sitting. The story of Nan, a woman who feels trapped by her life and her free fall into "old age" runs away and documents her journey through daily letters to her husband and journal entries. This is not as much a story of anger and regret as it is acceptance and learning to love change. Beautifully written...I will read this one again.

Wow, is this more common than realized? Maybe we should all get a trip across the country at about 45-50. Husband was so understanding and she met numerous people who helped to put her feeling into words. Pass it around and start some real conversation.
