Madison O'Donnell isn't a best-selling author.

Unpublished, disillusioned, and still grooming dogs at the temp job she took six years ago after moving to Toronto with her best friend, Madison's life hasn't gone at all according to plan.

So she turned her back on the one thing she's wanted more than anything.

Now, on her 25th birthday, with the weight of her roommate's impending move, an invitation to her estranged mother's wedding, and a humiliating run-in with her recent ex, Madison is spiralling full speed into a quarter-life crisis. And everyone can see it.

But a chance encounter with Ben, a kind and free-spirited stranger on a cross-country road trip, provides her with the perfect opportunity to get out of her rut. Desperate to prove she's not stuck, Madison makes the impulsive decision to join Ben and travel back home to Halifax and the family she left behind.

Embarking on an adventure that will change her life forever, Madison must embrace the unexpected, confront the real reasons she moved away, and learn the importance of resilience in the face of grief-or risk staying stagnant and uninspired while life continues to pass her by.

And in the process, she just might find a story worth writing about.
