Inhaltsangabe

Recipient of fifteen prizes and honors, As Far as You Can Go Before You Have to Come Back is a girl-and-her-backpack story with a #MeToo framing set in S.E. Asia and Japan in the late 1980s.

She learned to leave herself long before she ever left home.

By seventeen, Carlie has stolen money from the father who stole everything from her, boarded a plane, and vanished entirely into the backpacker trails of Southeast Asia. New country. New name. No forwarding address.

But running only gets you so far. Across the beaches of Thailand, the streets of Tokyo, and every guesthouse in between, she is still carrying what she left. The body keeps its own records, even when the mind goes somewhere else.

As the months blur into a life built from nothing, Carlie discovers that surviving and living are not the same thing. The road is raw and fractured and at times darkly funny, filled with people who help and hurt in equal measure.

Then someone says three words to her, and everything cracks open.

Urgent and lyrical, unflinching and achingly human, this is a story for anyone who has ever had to leave themselves to survive, and dared to wonder if coming back was still possible.

She mastered the art of leaving. The hardest lesson was learning how to stay. Get your copy today before the price changes.
