A deeply personal, inspiring true story of midlife reinvention, love, and homecoming.
Living the dream isn't all she hoped it would be when Lisa swaps a high-flying job in London for a freelance life by the sea in India. She struggles to control the tide of emotions that hit her as the dark horses of menopause descend and she begins to question whether her new life - and her relationship with a younger man - are all she hoped they would be.
When the pandemic hits, Lisa decides that the universe has made the decision for her and back in England, she falls for the charms of a man her own age. However, when they embark on hiking adventures together, she discovers he is not who he appears to be. Neither are the friends she'd hoped would support her when she publishes her first book and releases her secrets for all the world to see.
After hiking her way round her homeland in North Wales, Lisa is reunited with 'The Most Handsome Man in Goa' before embarking on a solo trip of a lifetime to Rajasthan. But back in the UK, she is forced to confront her dark horses alone when her health and hormones threaten to derail the new life she has built for herself.
This is a story of midlife reinvention, of friendships, relationships and a working life all put to the test by the seismic effects of menopause. But it is also a story of love and homecoming. It is about the healing power of walking in nature, the therapeutic process of writing, and one woman's determination to redefine what success and happiness look like.
