This is a true story of a young woman in her twenties leaving a sheltered, religious, separatist life and abandoning the plans and expectations set for her in search of what resonated with her soul. The story, set against the vibrant backdrop of living in South Korea and journeying across Asia, tells of new cultures, a wide cast of relatable friends, eye-opening romance, heart-breaking relationships, heart-felt connections, spontaneous adventures (tigers, elephants, caves, beaches, and temples), explorations of awe-inspiring sites, and more than a few embarrassing missteps on the way to self-discovery and fulfillment. It’s a story told with humor and honesty about finding balance in the tension between who she was and who she was becoming. An engaging and satisfying read on the beach or elsewhere!
