"Downs has a fluid, conversational writing style, zooming in to particular anecdotes that illuminate her experience rather than trying to cover the entire year . . . The travel sections are compelling and lively. A poignant tale of connection and disconnection through travel." -Kirkus Reviews
"With a mother in the final stages of Alzheimer's, Maggie Downs tries to run from her grief, but instead takes us to the far reaches of the globe, cuddling (and being bitten) by endangered monkeys, bonding with elephants, and working to save sea turtles. It's a journey to make any of us wonder if we're braver than we think." -Diana Marcum, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Tenth Island
