She had an amazing boyfriend, the kind that would bring flowers and chocolates on bad days.
She had wonderful and adoring parents and incredible siblings.
With all this, Alissa could not escape the feeling that although she should be feeling nothing but fullness and purpose, she felt completely empty and alone.
Determined as ever, Alissa decides to take a road trip the summer before university with her best friend to find her purpose.
How determined will she be to get there when she finds out that nothing will ever be the same after.
