Should she hightail it home to find a man like a good girl or run the rat race in NYC and hope for the best?Orth chose Plan C: escape!

But the timing couldn't have been worse for a solo trip. She dodged tsunamis and earthquakes, revolutions, grabby men, and incessant DMs from her worrywart relatives in a journey spanning five continents. In the midst of global misadventures, Orth's hilarious, vulnerable journey of faith and wanderlust shows that God is so much more creative than society's expectations for women.Buckle up for this sassy, relatable memoir about living life unscripted, yet still on mission.
