In this remarkable true story; disillusioned with her life, Angela, a 40-something single mother, moves to the Big Island of Hawai'i in 1994 on a quest for more. As she scrambles to find her footing, she begins the process of reinventing herself. Along the way she encounters extraordinary people, explores remote places and swims with large sea mammals. And most importantly, she finds a life purpose she had nearly given up looking for. The adventures are epic and otherworldly in this exotic new land, rich with culture and history, even though the learning curve is steep. Then, one summer, six years later, Angela experiences a dark night of the soul and is once again thrown headfirst into the process of transformation. She embarks on a vision quest on Maui that will give her the opportunity to reflect on her experiences as she seeks wisdom moving forward. Angela's journey of Spiritual self-discovery unfolds through determination, manifestation and more than a little magic against the enchanting backdrop of Hawai'i.
