Martha Henry had just turned 30 and was working at a dead end job. She knew she needed to get on with her life, but had no idea how to do it. She decided to take a solo road trip and write a book about it -- sort of like On the Road, but from a woman's point of view and with tampons and lip gloss. It might not be an answer to "the rest of her life," but it seemed like a good way to stall for time.
