Eighteen-year-old Bria ditches her middle-aged-stiffs tour group and joins hot backpacker Rowan and his sister, Starling, exploring Central America off the beaten path. Their travels are life-affirming for Bria, allowing her to deal with her recent breakup and her abandoned love of art. This is an exhilarating coming-of-age travel narrative, complete with crisply detailed exotic settings, adventure, and romance.
