Everything in Between

EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN is a brilliant, daringly honest memoir, taking the reader around the world and back again, the story of a woman letting go of the past and society's conditioning to find her freedom. This book of essays, with loads of sarcasm and a very obvious feminist bent, is best described as eclectic, chaotic in a good way, refreshing, and a permission slip to be imperfect. As a twenty something, Caitlin decides to quit her soul-sucking job to live in South America, a decision that catapults her into a totally new life. From Peru to Bali to India to Vietnam to Ireland to Costa Rica to the Faroe Islands, the reader joins Caitlin on an worldwide adventure, fraught with as many hilariously unfortunate mishaps as insightful moments. By spending time in less-visited places along with the usual sites, like a nursing home, an orphanage, a food pantry, a neighborhood chronically oppressed by segregation, Caitlin unpacks the "rules" she was taught to find it's not her that was broken, it's the systems we live in. EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN takes the reader on a raw and unfiltered journey of self-discovery, showing us that job titles, diamond rings, and number of followers aren't what's truly valuable in this world…it's what money can't buy: being true to yourself.
