Travel! Adventure! Romance! What could possibly go wrong? Raised in the safe, protective bubble of the 1950s, free-spirited "good girl," Fay Faron, thumbs her nose at her generation's expectation that she marry and procreate, instead taking off for a madcap life of travel, adventure and romance. Fay soon learns that navigating her way through the promiscuous world of the 1970s will take a set of skills her Sunday school teacher never taught her. Powering through a series of revenge plagues rained down from The Almighty-Hey, she is breaking ALL the rules, after all-Fay must learn to recreate herself or abandon her road-trip-as-a-lifestyle existence and retreat to the soul-crushing community from which she escaped. Part historical snapshot, part travelogue and part confessional, this laugh-out-loud memoir is the story of every woman who has pondered the road not taken or grappled with the guilt of not being able to live up to rules she didn't even make. - Fay's adventures are amazing. She takes us with her around the world." - "This could have been my story - young, idealistic, naive, exploring the world on a shoestring budget." - "Great romp through memory lane on the way-back machine.
" - "Fun, breezy, optimistic. Perfectly captures the time." - "A lovely, engaging, thoroughly enjoyable read from a clearly joyful spirit!" * Great book! I was young and adventurous and exploring other countries during the time period covered in this book. I identified with the author and thoroughly enjoyed her writing and her adventures. I liked the part at the beginning of each chapter that had some news and the music, TV, & movies that were popular then. It took me right back to that time in my life. - It is a fun read! This book is hard to put down. It is fun read with some serious themes mixed in.
Ms Faron's playful use of words kept a smile on my face throughout the book. Her adventures are amazing - she takes us with her around the world. I hope she is writing more books that I can be entertained by. Thanks, Fay Faron, for a good time!.
