Poetry spanning 4 years, written by a woman scientist residing in New England and Central America. Written as letters and observations to fellow writers, family, friends, and travelers of life.

What does it take to leave behind a life in the US, and start over in a developing country, with next to nothing? The author takes you on an intimate journey with her, as she sets aside heartbreaks and disappointments, observes the world as a student in her 30s, and finds the courage to make hard choices about love, life, career, values, and, ultimately, home. Read her letters to herself, to others, to a higher power- as she wanders streets, farm fields, forests, and homesteads in two countries, searching for footing in two very different worlds.
