Ten days after calling off her wedding, CJ Hauser went on an expedition to study the whooping crane. After a week wading through the gulf, she realised she had almost signed up to live somebody else's life. In this intimate, frank and funny memoir in essays, CJ Hauser goes looking for more honest ways of living, for new definitions of love. A book about our romantic lives, and what they say about who we are and how we navigate the world.
