Book 2 - SYNOPSIS
A flight to Paris. A pair of walking boots. And a journey along the Camino de Santiago that begins with a question:
What if she stopped planning her life around everyone else?
Back home, everyone around her is stepping into their own next chapter. Her daughters are chasing bigger lives. Her mother is expanding a business like she's just getting started. Her best friend Rachel is falling, cautiously, for someone new. And Charlie? She's about to turn fifty with no roadmap and no idea what she actually wants anymore.
So she does the one thing that terrifies her most, and somewhere between the blistered feet, the strangers-turned-friends, and the miles of Spanish countryside, she starts asking the question she's been avoiding,
NOT what should I do next, but who do I want to become?
With every mile, Charlie begins to question what she wants her life to look like—and how much of it she has chosen for herself. Far from familiar routines and the people who have always needed her, she has room to imagine something different. Whether she has the courage to choose it is another matter.
If you loved the quiet courage, female friendship and the family warmth of Life in Bloom, you'll fall in love with Charlie all over again in this powerful sequel about finding freedom on her own terms.
Will Charlie finally stop waiting for permission to live boldly, or will fear send her running back to the safety of a life she already knows?
Will the journey on the Camino de Santiago be a pilgrimage to freedom, or just, as many before her have found, a very long walk?
