The story of a southern woman who has it all—husband, children, career, friends, and a BMW convertible. So why, on her 50th birthday, does she hop a jet for Europe? Alone? Her flight takes her through the capitals, museums, cathedrals and back roads of Italy, Spain, Romania and Wales, but ends in the rain forest jungle of Panama where she loses everything … only to find everything.
“A true coming out story. Follow this one into the jungles of Panama.”

“Bravo! July 17, 2011. I knew I’d find this book interesting because I, too, am an expat living in Panama. But it was more than that…it was fantastic! I have never met Elizabeth Worley, but I feel as though I know her very well. Her words are so real, they bound off the page into your heart and soul. Bravo!” Susan Garcia

Risking Everything
What an amazingly honest and riveting story Elizabeth Worley has to tell. She spares little to arrive at a place in her life which feels right and uncompromised. Not an easy or risk-free endeavor, but your admiration goes out to her for her courage, creativity, and perseverance. This is beautifully written and an inspiration to all women to follow their hearts.
Response: Thank you, Barbara. It was a pleasure to meet you and Ed at Finca Luz. Following one\'s heart is the challenge we all face...learning what it is we are meant to follow--and facing that--is the struggle that precedes the start of the journey.
Inspiring, Funny, Surprising & Fascinating
I thoroughly enjoyed this memoir of a woman who lives her life with passion and honesty. She looks both backward to her experiences and forward to her dreams to make decisions that support her and her choices today.
Response: Thanks to you, a fellow North Carolinian and now a fellow Panama expat! Small world...
Great Reading
Once I picked up this book it was hard to put it down. I felt like I was in the highlands of Boquete, Panama and could understand the feelings and emotions that Elizabeth must had been going through. Excellent-- highly recommended!
Response: Really appreciate your review and we hope that you visit our organic farm Finca Luz in Boquete Panama.
