💖💫 Jane’s life is turned upside down within forty-eight hours. She makes a bold, impulsive choice—she’s leaving it all behind for an adult version of her daughter’s “gap year.”
Once a hopeful young ecologist, Jane dreams of climbing a volcano and working in the Galapagos—but life got in the way. Now, nothing stands between her and the adventure she abandoned years ago.
Sleeping in a hostel bunk bed surrounded by people at least twenty years younger, she befriends Laura, a fellow traveler determined to scale the volcano. Together, they doggedly train for the summit. Jane also meets Mark, a charming tour guide whose quick wit and sparkling eyes threaten to derail her identity quest.
As Jane pushes her physical and emotional limits, she seeks answers to the burning question: “What the hell should I do with the rest of my life?”
💖💖Jane navigates the world of travel to repair her broken heart, discovering that gap years aren’t just for teenagers.
