Book Description
A father dies unexpectedly and leaves his '78 motor home to his only daughter. Another woman lands a contract to write a completely unconventional Baja Calfifornia guidebook. But to do it, she needs an RV and three women to travel with her for a month.
Meet Dana--adventure-starved executive chef; Holly--bossy ecotour guide and author; Camille--outspoken deejay and songwriter; and Barb--straight-laced businesswoman with a deeply-rooted fear of dirt.
This unlikely foursome invites you to travel the Baja Peninsula with them. By the time you've finished, you'll know them better than you know most of your real-life friends. You'll be chomping at the bit to take this trip yourself and you'll have the knowledge to do it too....
Set against a backdrop replete with history, scenery, culture and adventure, Cartwheels in the Sand is touching, revealing, knee-slapping and engrossing. It's about coming to terms with life at midlife--a true renaissance journey! of the soul.
