Her bags are packed. She's come to a decision: she's going to win back her freedom by taking off in her old Volkswagen minibus! Even if it means leaving behind her husband and family. In a state of shock, they all blame her for making such a selfish move. But is it really so selfish to listen to that little voice deep within? Josy soon finds support among new friends who have faced similar scorn and incomprehension from family and society... But will that be enough to stop her from leaving once more? Perhaps a newfound love can help her find her way...
