Joan Zeller has been a restless soul for as long as she can remember, seeing the world as a breathless end of new experiences to be explored. Quitting a stable, career-oriented job and going in the airlines was her stepping off point. She threw caution to the winds and left herself open to whatever opportunities came her way. Her book is an expression of her free spirit and how she handled a terrible tragedy. After a colorful life, she is now retired and resides in a quiet New England town and has taken up watercolor painting of pets and wildlife.
