Untethered

Out of nowhere, he died, and the journey to put her life back together began. One minute Michael was walking to the kitchen, the next he was dead. No goodbye's, no "I love you", just...gone. Without him, his wife, Brooke, felt completely untethered from the safe and sure life she'd known. To escape the rut of grief that trapped her, Brooke pushed herself out into the world, taking off for a year of low-budget travel in New Zealand and Europe.

She takes us with her as she covers major ground-both across the Continent and inside herself. Through adventures like figuring out where to go, where to stay when she got there, to being lost the majority of the time, she found her way.

Untethered is a journey of discoveries, inner and outer, profound and silly, beautiful and courageous. You will laugh and cry and cheer her on as you watch Brooke grow from uncertain grieving widow to self-assured woman.
