Thanksgiving had always been Ali Berg's favorite holiday, but this Thanksgiving would be very different than any from her past. This year, Ali spends the holiday alone in a mountain cabin, reflecting on her life since losing her husband and young daughter ten months earlier. When Ali's seemingly idyllic life is suddenly and irrevocably changed, she struggles to understand her anger and her shame and looks for a way to ease her grief and rebuild her life. Much to her surprise, the search for a future leads back to her past. A stormy night, a classic movie and a vivid dream combine to provide Ali with the desire to recall and reclaim relationships with significant friends and mentors from years gone by. She begins to wonder if she ever thanked these incredible people for the positive impact they had on her life. Determined to express her gratitude-however belated-Ali decides to write each of them a personal letter of appreciation. Driven by an overwhelming desire to personally deliver these special thank you notes, she makes a daring decision to undertake a year-long, solo road trip across America. Anchored and empowered by the unfailing love of her parents, siblings and best friend, Ali forges ahead. Her journey takes her to destinations as diverse as a small farm in eastern Washington, a heliport in Montana, a speakeasy in Nebraska, and a prison in New York. Along the way, she gains new insights about herself and what it takes to survive the loss of a love. This ultimately uplifting and inspirational story will warm your heart and engender gratitude for the special people in your own life.
