What if going far away wasn't enough to get away from your darkest moments? A story full of sunshine, sarcasm, and stinging truths... just what you need.

 Miles from her homeland, former editor-in-chief Marilyn Montplaisir is struggling to fit into her new life. Different customs, different languages, different cultures—those who think the passionate woman is enjoying life under the warm Costa Rican sun are mistaken...

 Between her meditation sessions, training, writing, and running her small business, Marilyn, constantly guided by her cynical and entertaining inner voice, learns to share her world... It's not easy for this great loner to live, day after day, surrounded by strangers! In addition to the countless Latin machos who hang around, the attractive thirty-something must adapt to the distinct personalities of the travelers who storm La Casa de Marilyn. As she meets people, the joyful adventurer's optimism about the future of humanity begins to seriously fail.

 Will she be able to adapt to her new country? Will she be able to keep faith in her dreams of a better society? Will she find the happiness she longs for?
