What if the life you built wasn't the life you were meant to live?
Would you leave everything behind to follow your heart?

At forty-one, Melissa had it all—a stable marriage, a promising career in geophysics, and a comfortable suburban life. But when an out-of-body experience shattered her reality, she couldn't ignore the deep pull toward something more. Something wilder. Something truer.

So she did the unthinkable. She walked away.

Trading comfort for the wild unknown, she embarks on an epic spiritual journey in search of Truth and Self: 15,000 miles by road, 2,660 miles on foot (hiking the Pacific Crest Trail), and 444 miles by kayak—from the depths of Death Valley to the Indian Himalayas.

Crazy Free is a raw, firsthand memoir of exploration, following a scientist as she steps beyond the familiar and learns by direct experience what lies outside the boundaries of the life she once understood. Along the way, she encounters unexpected teachers, wise Grandmothers, and the untamed intelligence of the natural world.

And at each step, she must choose: surrender to the unknown or shrink back to a life of safety and certainty.

Perfect for fans of Wild, Eat Pray Love, and The Untethered Soul, Crazy Free is a women's adventure memoir that blends a healing journey, self-discovery, and mystical experiences into a science-meets-spirituality memoir unlike any other.
