"Patagonian Road by Kate McCahill is a stunning story about a young woman traveling through South America alone for a year. Her writing is honest and bittersweet as she deals with her privilege and loneliness in a world unlike hers. If you love descriptive writing, this book will take you on a journey." -Grace
