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.

50-something wife and mother runs away for a while, travels, wries letters, and journals. Emotions come to life as she uncovers and discovers her "true" self. Very good read!

This is just a great unexpected fun book - I think any woman who has a family & all the responsibilites that come with it has thought about just getting in a car & driving- with no idea where you are heading. I passed this along to my sister & think every woman who reads it should do the same!!!

Great story!!!

This was an amzing book. A woman goes looking for herself and what she finds is incredible....

This is an incredible journey and an incredible book.

As a woman 18 months from 50, I found this book an interesting tale.

This book is similar to “Ladder of Years” By Anne Tyler which I read last year and liked Alot. This one was OK. Although I am going to make a note here to read this book in about 10 years. The book had some really funny parts that I found myself chuckling to. But, the plot is a bit week. It basically moves from a narrative by the main character to letters she is writing to her husband on her travels. This books shows true honesty and vulnerability of a 50 year old woman who is uncomfortable with her life and getting old. At times I thought Nat was a little off the deep end and definitely had some psychological issues. But, at the end I discovered she was really just thinking it all through and had to work it out in her mind before she could accept her life the way it is and move on. As one of the previous readers said, this is not one of my favorites but I still liked it.

Nan, a menopausal wife runs away from home to confront her feelings about her life, her husband, the meaning of her life. It is a good read.

Right on writing from a first person on the loss of self in relationship and the regaining of self in a time of transition.

I liked this book, but didn't love it. It had great moments of insight into getting older as a married woman, and into the problems that occur in long term relationships. But it also drug on a bit. Overall it was worth a read.

Very good book. If you like Berg's writing you will like this. Woman's change of life adventure.

It's ben so longh since I have read this book, but it is about a middle-aged woman going out to find herself. Well written, it was one that I liked right from the beginning.

Very good and fast read of a woman "running" away for a bit to find herself

Characterization is wonderful.. great story for women

Berg is a great author. However, this was not my favorite of book of hers.

a novel about the journey of a woman and the issues of the heart that can transform a life.

My daughter loved it!

This was a nice book about a woman and her clever way of handling a mid-life crisis. Very quick to read.
