Places I Stopped on the Way Home: A Memoir of Chaos and Grace

by Meg Fee

There is not one thing I wish I had learned sooner. There is not one thing I think I was meant to know before I knew it.

I learned about trusting my gut only after I didn’t. And I learned about love in the trenches of heartbreak. And I understood the value of showing up only after I failed to do so. But it is how I learned each thing that has shaped the woman I am today, and the woman I’ll be tomorrow, and the day after.

People have told me that there is almost no way to prepare for how beautiful a place becomes just before you go, made sweet by its impermanence.
