Divorced and childless in her thirties, she found solace in the wanderlust that had always directed her heart, but now she wonders if her passion for travel (and for short-lived romantic rendezvous) has deprived her of what she secretly wants most: a husband, a family, a home. How to reconcile what seem to be two opposite desires: for adventure, great food, and new experiences, but also a place to call home--and a loving pair of arms to greet her there? So, she globe hops. What else is a travel writer to do? She enjoys new cultures and local delicacies, always on the lookout for the "one." But a terrible incident suddenly makes her aware of her vulnerability, and she becomes afraid of traveling. Might she lose her greatest pleasure, not to mention her career?--From publisher description.
