## Resource

In this episode of the W.W.A.A. Podcast, the host Kristy Mickelsen talks with special guest Author Lindsey Goldstein about her debut novel “Gap Year." In Goldstein's debut novel “Gap Year” , Jane Greenberg’s life unravels in forty-eight hours: her daughter leaves to study abroad, her husband leaves her for another woman, and her boss gives her an ultimatum. Instead of staying stuck, Jane makes a bold decision, she takes her own version of a gap year. Traveling to Ecuador to climb the volcano she once dreamed of summiting, Jane hopes the challenge will help her rediscover herself after years of putting others first. Along the way she finds adventure, friendship, heartbreak, and unexpected opportunities that force her to decide what kind of life and love she truly wants. Inspired by her own period of reinvention during the COVID-19 pandemic, “Gap Year” is a story of second chances, self-discovery, and the courage to start over.You can follow Lindsey on social media such as Instagram or Facebook as well as email her @ lindseyrg2016@gmail.com You can follow the host Kristy Mickelsen on most social media platforms including X.com @ kristybooks or Facebook under the Verified account of Kristy Mickelsen.
