Risking Everything: Coming Out in Coffee Land is the story of southern woman who seems to have it all—husband, children, successful career, friends, and a BMW convertible. So why, on the eve of her 50th birthday, does she hop a jet for Europe? Alone? Her headlong flight from her life takes her through the cathedrals and kitchens of Europe, and ends abruptly in the remote highland rain forest of Panama … where she loses everything … only to find everything.
