Between Maps - Paperback

by Kristin M. Anderson (Author)

When her carefully engineered life begins to feel too small, Lauren does the only thing that still makes sense: she drives. West, then north. Past the expectations she's been living under and toward the raw, open spaces where she once felt most alive.

What begins as a road trip becomes a journey through landscapes-and assumptions-that she has long taken for granted.

As she makes her way toward Alaska, Lauren meets Dutch, a philosophical Appalachian Trail hiker who challenges the way she thinks about time and choice. She also reconnects with Chase, who reminds her that not all forms of freedom require escape.

Told with insight, warmth, and understated humor, Between Maps is a novel about the lives we inherit, the places we leave, and the search for a path that feels genuinely our own.
