She has no idea that this one decision will change her world forever. As Meg travels from state to state, making new friends and having meaningful encounters with strangers, she discovers the person she buried long ago, as well as the freedom and creativity she once found elusive?and finally begins to feel that sense of serenity and joy she?s been seeking.
