And then she got over it

Meet Emily: A self-help obsessed 20-something who's sick of feeling "behind" in life. Like there's some club of all-stars to which she'll never be admitted. Exhausted by tearful pleas for God to get on her side, she suddenly questions: has she ever been on her own?
Through a tale that's equal parts exotic and mundane, on the eve of her college graduation, Emily takes us on a not-so-Eat-Pray-Love journey of brazen decision making, including a bumpy go as a French teacher at a makeshift school in Indonesia. Set against the backdrop of the Great Recession, when she's pushed home to the states by an unforeseen illness, she's hit with the depressing lull of unemployment and how to market her less-than-desirable skills as relevant. Navigating job interviews from hell alongside chance encounters with fortuitous grace, at each turn that all looks bleak, Emily's forced to reckon with the unforgiving nature of life "out there," and how it's mended by our higher self within. That long lost inner voice - usually loving, but sometimes stern and thereby ignored - that guides our choices in moments of fear and doubt.
Using laugh-out-loud humor and unapologetically blunt criticisms of Corporate American norms, for underdogs everywhere, And then she got over it is a heartwarming tale of confidence, faith and the arrival of change after it's well overdue.
