Our Review

This memoir chronicles the profound search for identity and purpose from the perspective of a lifelong expatriate, capturing the unique disorientation and freedom of a life lived across three continents. Author Nikki Cornfield documents her unconventional path with raw honesty, framing her journey as a restless quest guided by instinct and the 'messengers' who appear at pivotal moments, ultimately leading her toward unexpected revelations about her true self.

What distinguishes this personal narrative is its compelling exploration of how external displacement fuels an internal pilgrimage, as Cornfield meticulously connects the scattered dots of her experiences to construct a coherent sense of meaning. Readers navigating their own transitions—whether geographical, spiritual, or existential—will find a resonant companion in this introspective account of trusting one's inner compass. The memoir leaves a lasting impression about the universal human need to find our place in the world, making it particularly meaningful for anyone questioning their own path or feeling untethered.
