Get swept away by Vacation Therapy, a heart warming tale of self-discovery based on the author's own experiences. A chronicle of love, loss, and lifelong friendship, this insightful look into human nature proves that sometimes it takes a trip around the world to find your way back home.Anna and Alma have been friends since graduate school, when they vowed to travel together each year. Anna, fresh off a painful divorce, still struggles with guilt over moving to another state with her two young children. Yet she views these trips with Alma as a way to reconnect with herself, ultimately hoping that they will open Anna up to the possibility of love once again.Their vacation tradition kicks off when Anna and Alma win a spring break cruise to the Bahamas aboard a luxury ocean liner. Anna's foray into two piece swimsuits and socializing doesn't turn out quite as expected, however, as the "cruise ship" turns out to be an oversized ferry crammed with drunken college kids.Their next trip finds the two best friends in Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where Anna's internal battle with herself comes to a head. But as she dances around a giant bonfire with the full moon shining down, Anna begins allowing herself to live in the moment and eschew the fear of judgment she has held onto most of her life. Readers will delight in following Anna's often hilarious journey to self-discovery, from a dance club in Washington DC to a romantic but ill-fated rendezvous in Las Vegas and beyond. Funny and heartfelt, Vacation Therapy chronicles two friends' many adventures around the globe as Anna discovers lifelong friends, an appetite for adventure, and perhaps the most important thing of all: Herself.
