Pre-order now and discover the incredible story of one woman''s solo journey  from Land''s End
to the shores of Greece  exploring the unexpected joy of solitude  self-discovery and
resilience __________ ''We have no idea how much resilience there is inside us until we have to
draw on it. We learn that we grow through adversity only as we go through it. That we crave
happiness like plants leaning toward the light'' When Susan quit her job in London and set sail
off the south coast of England on her beloved sailboat  Isean  she was unaware this spontaneous
departure would lead to a three-year journey spanning several countries across the continent.
With only the very basics on board  resourcefulness becomes an unexpected source of joy and
contentment. The highs and lows of living in such an extreme way awakens a newfound
appreciation for the beauty of her surroundings  for being safe - for just being alive. For all
the physical and navigational challenges of her journey  the other side of her story reveals a
more important change - an inner journey - that took place along the way. This wasn''t merely a
challenge  a mid-life adventure or gap-year career break  it was much gentler than that  but
much greater too. She was seeking nothing less than an entirely different life  having left the
land far behind to call the wild  unbiddable sea home. __________
