From magical and entertaining to painfully raw and unsettling, this beautiful blend of travel memoir, soul searching, motherhood and non-profit building shows us how to put fear aside, peel away all that insulates us, and to listen and trust in our inner selves.
We are answering a call to connect to humanity –
a pilgrimage to make a difference –
to matter.

Mine required that I set the normal American life by the roadside to see, smell, and touch the world. Then having done so, I realized I had work to do.
