Contained within the pages is the person Kate used to be—a free-spirited adventurer that she’s lost over time and one she is eager to return to being. Armed with the diary in hand, and a helpful nudge from her sympathetic editor, Kate hits the road on assignment for the magazine. As she makes her way across the country, stopping in places like, Sedona, Santa Fe, Austin, New Orleans, and Savannah, Kate battles mosquitos, humidity and summer thunderstorms in search of the perfect fried southern delicacy, but discovers so much more in the process: A fried shrimp po’boy should always be served with a cold Barqs root beer. If you’re going to reach out to the ex you haven’t spoken to in a decade, make sure you have the right address…and for goodness sake, keep stirring the roux so it doesn’t burn. |
