"Imaginative, funny journey through making a new home in a new place, and the many characters along the way."

Eleanor finishes college and finds herself on an airplane heading to Washington DC. With no money and no job, she explores how to grow roots in new soil.

Part fictional travel guide to Washington DC and other locations in the US and overseas, part coming of age story, the narrator gives us a front seat to her adventure-the real, the imagined, and where the two blend together.
