About the Book

Travel writer Charlene Andre jumps on an assignment to visit Hungary soon after the fall of the Iron Curtain …and her marriage. Budapest! That is the most fabled of cities… but is it safe? War threatens along the border. The government is in chaos. Charlene throws her fate to the wind and makes the journey.

“Goodbye,” says Charlene, at first to her philandering husband and then to herself, her old self, as she opens up to a new world, new adventures, and new romance.

Without realizing it, Charlene finds purpose and discovers her own voice, strength, and independence. Not only is she writing about life in exotic locations, but she’s also living it.
