THEY ONLY EAT THEIR HUSBANDS
A Memoir of Alaskan Love, World Travel,
and the Power of Running Away
Now Available
"A delightfully engaging read. Lee reminds us that in travel as in life, the inward journey is as messy, important and rewarding as the outward one."
—Kyle Wagner, travel editor, The Denver Post
At 26, after a lover threatens to shoot her, Cara runs away to Alaska. During her nine years in the Last Frontier, she lands in a love triangle with two alcoholics: a paraglider pilot obsessed with danger and a martial artist obsessed with death. At 35, sick of addicts, Cara runs again, to backpack around the world alone.
