What happens when the life you've spent decades building suddenly no longer fits? After retiring from a demanding corporate career, Margot expected freedom, ease, and long-awaited space. Instead, she found herself thousands of miles from home, on a new continent, stripped of her routines, her title, and the identity she thought defined her. The silence left room for questions she had never asked - and answers she wasn't prepared for. A Leap of Faith and a Little Madness is an honest and heartfelt memoir about starting over later in life. Margot shares her journey of leaving the corporate world behind, navigating disorientation and uncertainty, and quietly rebuilding a sense of self. Along the way, she explores what it truly means to belong, to reconnect, and to rediscover who you are when everything familiar falls away. Set against the backdrop of a life-changing move abroad, this story delves into identity, partnership, and place. With warmth, vulnerability, and gentle wisdom, Margot reflects on the courage it takes to begin again - not just in a new country, but within yourself. This memoir is for anyone standing on the edge of change, wondering what comes next. It is a reminder that reinvention is possible at any age, that relationships bend and stretch with us, and that sometimes losing your old life is the only way to find the one meant for you.
