The exciting, inspirational memoir of a woman and her 13 year old daughter who embarked on a year long painting trip around the world. Traveling alone, on a limited budget, they faced their fears and discover their strengths all the while having an incredible adventure. It is the personal journey of both Mother and daughter, as well as a cultural journey of the women they met around the world and it is the proverbial hero's journey. Quoting Joseph Campbell, ␣␣whether small or great, and no matter what the stage or grade of life, the call rings up the curtain, always, on a mystery of transfiguration - a rite or moment of spiritual passage, which, when complete, amounts to a dying and a birth. The familiar life horizon has been outgrown;; the old concepts, ideals and emotional patterns no longer fit;; the time for the passing of the threshold is at hand.
