    About this audiobook

    Who goes to Scotland for two weeks with someone they met over the internet? I did and it changed my life.

    At forty-three, Ninya was depressed, out of shape, and filled with crippling anxiety after addiction, cancer, and divorce had destroyed nearly everything.

    One day, she received a message from a stranger. This woman offered to lead her on a self-healing trip hiking through the Scottish highlands.

    It seemed like a sign—a big sister sent when she needed one most.

    In this sometimes hilarious, sometimes terrifying, but always inspiring memoir, an introverted pollyanna is paired up with her polar opposite—a steamrolling, abrasive female with completely unorthodox healing methods.

    As they barrel through the winding one lane roads in a tiny rental car stopping to hike at breathtaking mountains and glens, an outrageous series of events forces Ninya to reclaim her power and find the strength to heal herself in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

      One of my favourite parts of this book is the map because it maps out the routes that all the female adventurers took. Each of the women went on their own adventures and through this book, I got to explore with them. Most of the time, the journeys we

      If you're looking for an introspective journal of a middle aged woman's life struggles, this is the book for you. If you're looking for an interesting travelogue about Scotland, this probably isn't.

      The real life Walter Mitty!

      I love the film Walter Mitty, but never found a books that captured the film...well, until now. I just finished the audiobook on Scribd and really enjoyed it. I loved watching the self discovery that Ninya had and the crazy adventures with Erika. I would love to see a follow up of a second book where Ninya goes on an adventure with her daughter or her partner. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a real world self discovery book.
