Unlock the secrets of self-healing and empowerment in this outrageous journey taken by two strangers through the Scottish highlands.

From the winding one-lane roads to the breathtaking mountains and glens, this memoir takes you on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and healing in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

  • Read it in one sitting!

    I loved this book and couldn't put it down! It's not a travel book, but instead, as is in the title, a memoir...one woman's journey to find center. I will be happily recommending it to others.

  • A Fun Read of Self-Exploration

    The author’s quirky story telling drew me in. Broken by life, she embarks on a trip to Scotland for 2 weeks with her polar opposite. During this crazy adventure she finds her own voice. Compelling and funny story.

  • Powerful, Intimate Life Journey

    This is a terrific travel book. I call it "Eat. Pray. Hike". Ninya shares candid details of her life as she accepts an offer to hike Scotland with a woman she's never met. Along the way she learns more about herself and her relationships, and there are many hilariously funny moments as well. Beautifully written, a fascinating read!
