A Road of Her Own - Paperback

by Kimberly Gomes (Author)

At twenty-nine, Mira's stuck writing obituaries, caring for a once-wild, now-blind mother, and living in a fish-scented apartment that smells like failure. Her dream of becoming a photojournalist feels distant-until a last-chance artist fellowship offers a shot at something more. With a camera in her hand and nothing left to lose, Mira sets out on a solo, cross-country road trip through America's national parks. Along the way, she skydives, breaks down (in every sense), and meets women who remind her what it means to want, to risk, and to live. But the road has its own demands. As old grief and family secrets rise to the surface, Mira must finally face what she's been avoiding: the truth about her past-and the life she still has time to claim. A Road of Her Own is a fierce, lyrical debut about mothers and daughters, reinvention and adventure, and the courage it takes to become the truest version of yourself.
