Have You Ever Dreamt of Leaving Everything Behind to Travel the World? 

Take that adventure from your favorite comfy chair with Joanne Flynn Black’s travel memoir…

IN MOTION

Launching

Monday, November 11

In 2005, Joanne Flynn Black left her high-powered career to undertake a decades-long dream of having a worldwide adventure. Just as she’s planning her trip, love enters her life. Does she invite him to join her or continue her “girl in the world” trek solo?

In Motion: Around the World in Love and Heartbreak takes the reader from the streets of San Francisco to a camel ride in Rajasthan, India: From being trapped alongside donkeys in the Himalayan mountains of Bhutan to campervanning in Australia.

If you’ve been wanting to get away from it all, this book will make you feel like you are right there on the adventures—and misadventures!
