About this ebook

Paulina Astoria, a thirty-something wife from Florida, embarks on an academic adventure that takes her to the University of Cambridge in England. Leaving behind her husband, Joe, and their so-far futile attempts to have a child, her goal is to be nice to herself for a change. She will spend the summer immersing herself in a study of Shakespeare—and the people she meets in England. She takes along her diary along with her hopes and dreams for an eye-opening, cross-cultural experience in a land that is both new and foreign, despite the lack of a language barrier.The lessons she learns, however, go far deeper than merely Shakespeare and his plays—and Paulina’s eyes are opened in ways she never expected.Seeking to fit in with the younger students, Paulina begins to see her life in a new light. She has focused solely on her husband for many years, neglecting her own growth. Her closest relationship—with Joe, as his wife—has left her feeling alone and lonely. And Joe seems to be distancing himself even further from her, in her absence.Does he even miss her? Do they still have a future together?While exploring her new environs, Paulina finds that the University of Cambridge has three gates: Honor, Virtue, and Humility. She begins to realize that each gate has its own unique, life-changing, and challenging lessons to teach her. She embarks on a journey that will open her heart to new ways of thinking about her future......and the ways in which she views her very own soul.
