What Members Thought
Steinbach describes her experiences during a year off from work, spending time in Paris, London, Oxford, and Italy. What keeps this book from being just a travelogue is her goal -- her challenge to "find" herself, free from the routines of daily life that tend to define us all. While her descriptions of the places she visited are fine, it's her thoughts about being independent and about relationships with other people that I enjoyed.

This woman puts me to shame with her cultural knowledge of the places she visits, and the conversations she has on the way. Her travels seem remarkably bereft of the little challenges that I seem to face, or does she just leave them out and write only of what she finds that enriches her? Her travels are about her inner journey as much as the miles covered. Sending postcards home to herself? Genius!
