DESCRIPTION:
Through Ecuador, Peru, Nepal, and beyond, Kim and Brian face obstacles, including major challenges to their relationship.

Both the challenges and rewards of enthusiastically embracing adventure and the unknown made my heart sing. Along the way, Kim skillfully describes not only colorful and unusual destinations, but the locals she and Brian encounter. The j
