About this ebook

Pulpwood Queens & Timber Guys International Book Club Official Selection

 

Oklahoma Book Awards Best Fiction Finalist

 

A bittersweet story of friendship and overcoming grief from a critically acclaimed author.

 

Olivia Montag is a professor who doesn't have all the answers. The devastating loss of a child ended her marriage, and she's been overlooked for a job promotion one time too many. Not sure what comes next, she leaves it all behind and volunteers to teach English to schoolchildren in India. 

 

Ten thousand miles away, she connects with fellow volunteers and finds purpose in teaching. Until one by one the girls in her classes stop showing up. Then she meets Mukesh, an Indian man with a heart for invention, who may be the only one who can help her students. This is her chance to impact real change, even if that means trusting new friendships and her own instincts.

 

It turns out, there might be strength in asking for help, and embracing a painful past may clear the way for a brighter future. Sometimes in the darkest storms, you can choose to dance in the rain.

 

Eat, Pray, Love meets Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in this poignant but uplifting story of finding your purpose.
