Waking up in hospital, covered in drips and drains, Kym realises that
life really is too short. Turning down a great opportunity and saying
goodbye to the rat race, she ups sticks with her 18 year old son and
throws herself headfirst into pastures new without the slightest bit of
research and breaks all the rules by doing the don'ts and ignoring the
do's. When she finds herself freezing, without electricity and the sole
inhabitant of a Turkish complex, she wonders if it has all been a very
big mistake? Her search for company leads to a fall and in the darkness
of night she is taken to a witch doctor whose methods are rather
unusual. Surviving that, she finds a job with an aging lothario and his
dancing caterpillar and ends up miles from home and fearful for her
sanity. Summer returns breathing life back into the town and she meets a
man who may just be her reason to stay. Introduced to his large family
and their culture, she wades deeper into his Kurdish village life of
subservient females, raw food & sacrifices and much to her surprise
feels a sense of belonging. Can she find a balance between this and her
expat life or has she really bitten off more than she can chew this
time?
