Skyler I never thought I'd lose her. Then, one day, she was gone. Without my best friend at my side, the world drained of color and the commune I grew up in no longer felt like home. Desperate for clarity, I gave into the wanderlust plaguing my heart and set out on an adventure with one goal in mind: banish the ugly, heavy grief clinging to my soul like beggar's lice. For the first time in my life, I was lost with no direction. And then, HE sat down next to me in a roadside diner and changed everything. Reed I didn't stand a chance with someone like Skyler Kassamali, but that didn't matter. For one, the hippie witch scared the hell out of me.

One free-spirited tree hugger running from grief. One technology-addicted IT manager on the road to self-discovery. 6 states. 1200 miles. 1 cramped SUV. What could possibly go wrong?
