Praise for Without Reservations: "A rich account of one woman's journey through Europe and into the self." Beautifully illustrated with postcards from Steinbach's journeys, this revealing and witty book transports you into a fascinating inner and outer journey, an unforgettable voyage of discovery. "I had fallen into the habit of defining myself in terms of who I was to other people and what they expected of me." But who was she away from the people and things that defined her? In this exquisite book, Steinbach searches for the answer to this question in some of the most beautiful and exciting places in the world: Paris, where she finds a soul mate Oxford, where she takes a course on the English village Milan, where she befriends a young woman about to be married. "For years I'd made my own choices, paid my own bills, shoveled my own snow." But somehow she had become dependent in quite another way. "In many ways, I was an independent woman," writes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alice Steinbach.
