“Jules took me on a hilarious journey as she searched for her ‘formula for happiness.’ It’s sort of a Rubyfruit Jungle as told by Pippi Longstocking… No pirates (unless you count exes!), but lots of monkeys!”

—Marnie McBean, Order of Canada, three-time Olympic champion

'I love this book.''
--Jann Arden

“Jules Torti takes you on a wild spin of a joy ride through her life as she looks for a place to call home.”

—Laurie Gough, author of Kiss the Sunset Pig, Kite Strings of the Southern Cross and Stolen Child

“As a touring musician, I thought I had a flurry of road stories to tell, but Jules must have lived five lives before she was twenty-nine to have experienced all this so far. Her story is one that will resonate with anyone with the taste for travel but a longing for home. Wherever and whomever that may be.”

—Lisa MacIsaac, Madison Violet

“A walker, a talker and one helluva writer. An avid explorer of this flawed and fabulous world, a fearless and hilarious examiner of the heart’s mysteries, Jules Torti is a brilliant dynamo who reminds us that the optimism of youth and the courage to be true to oneself are shining examples of how to live large, go big and find a forever home and true love. Unless you are a terminally timid wannabe writer with envy issues or a judgey prune with a pickle up your bum, you’ll love this wonderful book!”

—Caroline Woodward, author of Singing Away the Dark and Light Years: Memoir of a Modern Lighthouse Keeper
