But the road before you is littered by pitfalls and stumbling blocks. How do you get to the deep contentment, the wonder-filled purpose you yearn for?
What if a solo road trip provided the perfect setting for the transformation you seek, quietly creating the opportunity to reclaim wonder in your life, renew your mind, and begin anew?
This is Beth Binger's story.
For most of her adult life, Beth enjoyed a life most would envy - beautiful home, successful husband and wonderful children, a job she loved, tons of family and friends. But then her world capsized - the kids now grown, the house and husband gone. She felt dumped in a new and unrecognizable place - alone.
Finding a way forward meant building a new life that would share few similarities to the one she had known for almost 3 decades. She made the unlikely but life-changing decision to embark on a solo road trip.
There's Wonder Around the Bend is the practical, emotional, and spiritual outpouring of how she turned that crossroads in her life into a clear roadmap of renewal and hope.
With charming prose that feels like an afternoon shared with a trusted friend, Beth invites you to journey with her as she relates captivating stories from the road. You'll eagerly embrace her encouragement to purposefully reclaim wonder for yourself. In a brilliant blend of road trip inspiration and Christian self-help for women, this book takes you from your first timid travel dream to confidently packing your car for the open road (including the best snacks!).
