"A triumphant journey about losing yourself, finding yourself and coming home again. Hitch yourself to their ride: you'll embark on a transformative journey of your own." -- Allison Winn Scotch, New York Times bestselling author of The One That I Want and Time of My Life Three friends, each on the brink of a quarter-life crisis, make a pact to quit their high pressure New York City media jobs and leave behind their friends, boyfriends, and everything familiar to embark on a year-long backpacking adventure around the world in The Lost Girls . With their thirtieth birthdays looming, Jen, Holly, and Amanda are feeling the pressure to hit certain milestones--score the big promotion, find a soul mate, have 2.2 kids. Instead, they make a pact to quit their jobs and set out on a journey in search of inspiration and direction. Traveling 60,000 miles across four continents, Jen, Holly, and Amanda push themselves far outside their comfort zones to embrace every adventure.
