The book is about a young person who experiences significant depression for several years and then eventually makes it through the other side.

In the summer of 2001, book author Tom Hartwell made the biggest decision of his life. After working in New York City for more than a decade, he decided to quit the Big Apple and attempted to live around the world, a different country each month. What he discovered was more enjoyable than he ever imagined and in the process left his entire previous life behind him. Ultimately, it was the only way for Tom to find out who he really was.
