Unique book, and interesting, albeit a bit cumbersome to read at times because sometimes it's like reading the deep inner thoughts of the author. Descriptively good writing. I appreciate Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read and review.

Thank you Writelife Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC.

This was an enjoyable, engaging memoir described as a travel memoir, but so much more. I enjoyed the descriptive writing of geographical locations visited, however this journey was so much more than arriving at a certain location.

If you enjoy travelling on a journey to untangle life’s deeper meaning, I highly recommend this.

This book was different than anything I had read. It had spirituality and travel, and self-discovery.
Although I haven't experienced anything like the author has, it was lovely to read about how her travels and pilgrimages helped connect with the past, and bring calm.

This book includes travel descriptions, reflections, and diary excerpts, which provide different perspectives.

I love coming along as someone challenges themselves to something they never thought they could do or were always afraid of trying. The author grew up the "baby" of her family and often looked to others for guidance when making decisions, both big and small. The book opens as her son disappears then reappears after an overdose. This seems to spark the author to look at her life and make some major changes. She begins travelling and making her own decisions and we get to come along on her path of personal growth and challenging herself.

Thank you to Boutique of Quality Books Publishing, Inc./WriteLife Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

I don’t usually read travel books but this one promised to be (and is!) much more than your average travel guide book. The author soon points out the difference between vacationing, where one vacates one’s life, and SoulSrolling, where one inhabits one’s life.

I could really see and feel each city that the author takes us to, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole book, including the lessons she learned along the way.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I found it difficult to truly sink my teeth into this memoir at first. The opening chapters feel vastly different from what the blurb and cover denote, and I often struggle with memoirs, having lived not much at all compared to some, but eventually came to find SoulStroller a deeply heartwarming read. It was, however, a pleasure to watch the author blossom and begin to live life on her own terms. Reading Kayce's first solo travel experience in Paris brought back my own memories of travelling alone for the first time and feeling so empowered by doing so.

The memoir almost reads as women's fiction, jaunty and showy and blissfully tempered with elements that we can all relate to. Am I doing this wrong? Did I say something out of line? It opens with the shock of the author's eldest child having an overdose, before abruptly moving straight into the memoir. I felt there was a certain disconnect here that I can't quite put my finger on. I never felt completely taken by her story and feel the book lacked a component that'd really draw me into Kayce's world and experiences. Like I mentioned, it was vastly different to what I expected and I didn't finish the memoir feeling incredibly enlightened or inspired. Perhaps this would be different had I as a reader been given more insight into her world before writing the memoir.
