A thirty-something wife and mother's adventurous spirit cannot be squashed. Not by her current role and not by her routine loving husband. Her birthday proclamation to live an extraordinary life does not gel with the status quo. An idea comes from the ethers, a secret way to ignite her fire again without rocking the boat. She sets out on a literary adventure of her own design with a mission that may take more than a lifetime to achieve. Pouring out memories of the people and times in her life, she bundles them onto the pages of five traveling books- only they hold the clues as to her identity; only they can guide someone back to her.
In Book One, we see the author launch her first book into the worldly abyss, banking on humanity to help her in the cause. Through her journal entries we see her struggle: Is this all there is? she questions, cramping further into herself as her world gets smaller and smaller with each "no," or "not right now" that spouts from her husband's mouth. In discontent she reaches out to a man from her past with a supposedly innocent, "Hello." He responds curiously back. Feeling alive again for the first time in years, she dangles dangerously on the edge of infidelity. It is a battle of heart and head, but will anyone win?
Readers will also be voyeurs to the wondrous cast of secondary characters who come into the path of this literary unicorn against astronomical odds, its presence becoming an invitation to examine and expand their own lives. Perfect strangers bound together in this once in a lifetime game if only they choose to play.
