Overview

Sara San Angelo's Drift is an unforgettable journey through one girl's transition from the safety of modern society to the uncertainty of an invisible counter-culture and the people and lessons that change her life.

In the vein of the Beat writers and poets, Drift asks, "What is the meaning of life in a world where there is no longer an 'individual' but a 'consumer'." "What does it mean to be truly free?" Drift is a journey which shatters some of the fundamentally held mores of our time and will appeal to anyone who questions the direction of their path.

Carrie thought her future was clear. She graduated college, got a good job, landed the rock star boyfriend and was just waiting for the little cottage with the white picket fence. But as time wore on, a drudging dissolution started to appear through the cracks of her dreams. Nothing in her life was as it seemed.

Spiraling into despair, Carrie decided to end it all on a desolate span of railroad tracks. As she struggled to muster the courage, a mysterious figure appeared on the horizon and convinced her to let everything go, and just drift.

Author Sara San Angelo gleans from her experiences as a fellow traveler to bring to the masses a brave alternative to a despondent world.

About the Author

Sara San Angelo was born in New Jersey but eventually found herself haunting back alleys in her teen years with a rag-tag band of friends in South Carolina's Holy City, Charleston. After finishing high school in the early 90s, and with a voracious appetite for learning things they couldn't teach you in school, she and her sister decided to leave Charleston and hitchhike around the country. What they found was a whole community of like-minded travelers trying to make sense of the world in their own way.

San Angelo traveled for the better part of the 90s until she hung up her pack and decided to attend college. She graduated with a degree in Communications and now writes for various local and national newspapers and magazines. Her book, Drift, is a fictional account of life on the road. She now lives outside of Charleston, SC on three and a half acres nestled in the Francis Marion National Forest with her two Boston Terriers, two goats and two cats. Drift is her first novel.
