Description
The author of the text, Elizabeth Gilbert, is a travel writer and memoirist. She has written a book about her journey across America, which is called "My Blueberry Nights." Gilbert's book is about her journey of self-discovery and healing after a break-up. Gilbert meets people along the way who have different experiences and stories, which helps her to understand herself better. Gilbert's book is about self-acceptance and understanding that we are all part of a greater journey.
After a rough break-up, Elizabeth sets out on a journey across America, leaving behind a life of memories, a dream and a soulful new friend a cafe owner, all while in search of something to mend her broken heart.
Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers, including a troubled cop and his estranged wife and a down-on-her luck gambler with a score to settle.
Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness, and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.
