Let's just say 2008 was not Victoria's best year.
Watching a tanking economy nearly destroy her fledgling company, laying off the employees she's come to regard as family, and filing for bankruptcy would have been painful enough. But when her business partner tells her he'll never love her the way she's just admitted to loving him, Victoria opts for escape.
With nothing but a questionable bicycle and a pile of borrowed camping gear, she sets out on a journey from Boston to Los Angeles, desperately hoping that four months, 12 states, and 4,000 miles will buy her time to figure out what to do with her life. As she faces the perils of the road-monster hills, prairie headwinds, hypothermia, fire ants, wild boars, and bok choy cabbages tumbling from a produce truck-she can't help wondering: what if she meets the love of her life along the way?
Finding Spoons is Victoria Merriman's humorous and inspiring memoir for anyone who has ever hit rock bottom, despaired at their love life, yearned for adventure-or all three at once.
