Reinvention Stories

''What do you want to be when you grow up?'' Jaq hated this question with a passion. Not because she wasn't good at anything. Quite the opposite. She was annoyingly good at picking up skills with enough YouTube tutorials, spite, and free time. She just couldn't pick and stick to a freaking lane. Join Jaq as she navigates career disasters, family drama, sexuality confusion, and the increasingly ridiculous pressure to "find her calling." Because apparently, being good at everything except knowing what the hell you're doing with your life isn't a valid career path.

a wry, hallucinatory novel about one man's misguided attempt to flee the wreckage of his life - and what he finds instead. Lodge Gratz has had enough. Orphaned, recently divorced, and quietly convinced he's dying of a slow, invisible illness he traces back to the dust of September 11th, Lodge does what any desperate, spiritually curious New Yorker might do: he buys a one-way ticket into the Amazon jungle. What follows is not a neat arc of healing, but a humid, often absurd plunge into ritual, ceremony, and the myth of reinvention. As Lodge stumbles barefoot through the unfamiliar terrain of ayahuasca retreats, silent guides, and his own crumbling psyche, he begins to confront the very thing he was trying to outrun: himself. Told in a voice that's as sharp as it is compassionate, Holidays, Travel, and Other Misconceptions explores how we project meaning onto holidays, travel, and transformation - and how those projections, shaped by personal trauma and cultural noise, often obscure the quieter truths hiding in plain sight. It's a story about grief disguised as escape, about the rituals we inherit and the ones we invent, and about what's left when the curated version of ourselves finally collapses.
