Description: Picking up where Spilling Open left off, Sabrina Ward Harrison talks to us about the surprising and incredible reaction to her first book. From e-mail and letters, she realized that through her journal she had become an identifying voice for women around the world. However, along with notoriety came a certain pressure to uphold this newly recognizable image. Feeling overwhelmed by trying to live up to what she thought she had to become, Sabrina decided to head out on her own. She chose Italy as her destination. It was a place she had always dreamed of and written about, a place she felt she could go to "recolor" herself. In her journey she discovered a universal identity with fellow travelers and a kinship with the women she met. When she arrived back home she struggled with trying to keep her newly found confidence intact as she navigated her life.

Harrison writes and illustrates with a powerful and creative voice. Her thoughts are real and brave. She sensetively explores love, faith, growing pains, being true, peer groups, and what it means to be unique. With unfaltering honesty, she allows us to witness and share in the process of reconnecting with herself, of growing and reaching and, ultimately, going home again.
