MEET THE WRITER

There's Always a Hitch

EAT, PRAY, AND WTF JUST HAPPENED?

​

A daughter. A backpack. A mission to live her mother’s dream—and escape her own meltdown. When Sophie Sherwin found her late mother’s 1958 travel diaries, she didn’t expect them to hijack her life. But soon she’s trading high heels for one star hotels, retracing a hitchhiking adventure across the US that her mum never meant to be legendary—but totally was.

 

Cue: questionable couches, flaky Airbnbs, acting classes with existential crises, and the kind of budget breakdowns that no Pinterest packing list could prepare you for. Told with outrageous humour and unexpected tenderness,

 

There’s Always a Hitch is a real-life Eat, Pray, Love for women who no longer pretend to have it all figured out. A tale of legacy, laughter, and letting go—even if your luggage is still overweight.

Hitch

Logline:

After rediscovering her late mother’s travel diary, a failing life-coach abandons her current life to recreate the same road-trip, sixty years later, with her mother’s memories guiding her path. Two stories told, both are trying to escape life but they learn it has a habit of coming with you.
