Have you ever found yourself on a path that you have no control over, but you know in your heart that it is your destiny?
There's Always a Hitch is a comedy memoir about Sophie, a single and broke entrepreneur who is failing miserably at her new business. She decides to re-connect with her mum who passed away 11 years ago, following in her footsteps.
Traveling alone, with only her mum's scrapbook of memorabilia, photos, postcards and diary to guide her, Sophie visits all the same places her mum backpacked and hitchhiked through back in 1958. She soon realises her financial situation does not stretch to the luxury five star smooth travel that she is accustomed, but more like a one star run of disasters...
8,500 miles, ten cities, five states, three countries, 11 weeks, over 100lbs of luggage, tears, blood, giggles, and an extra dress size later, she makes it! Interspersed with Sophie's laugh out loud memoires are her mother's words, photos and memorabilia, creating an inspirational, heart-warming, humorous journey of bravery, drama, resilience, vulnerability, magic, travel, friendship and transformation.
