The Shift

by Dana Da Silva

YOUR MIND MAY BETRAY YOU BUT THE HEART NEVER LIES

Grace, a young woman suffering from sexual and violent intrusive thoughts, as well as recurrent urinary tract infections, feels both mentally and physically broken. It's a relief when she's diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder because it means she's not going crazy like she'd suspected.

While working on managing her condition, her feelings towards her husband become increasingly platonic, and after battling with her head for so long, the culmination of everything gets too much.

On a whim, with her eyes closed, Grace spins a plastic globe that she's had since childhood and her finger lands on South America. She sets off for Argentina, leaving behind her job, husband, stepson, Labrador, and their home near the beach.

In five months, while exploring 14 countries, Grace has exotic adventures and love affairs, learning to trust herself again in the process. Finally, she thinks she knows who she is and what she wants, but returning home to Australia, to reality, puts this to the test.

Part travel memoir, part spiritual guide, and part erotica, The Shift is a wide-ranging personal odyssey.
