Leaps & Passages
Deena Frankel describes her three-month solo travels by car through the back roads of the US border states. The experience was a passage between career and retirement, and also coincided with the loss of a parent. The 12,734-mile journey became both a personal quest and an exploration of the state of our country. Her stories and pictures reveal people and places, insights about us as a nation, the freedom and challenges of solo travel as a woman in her 60s with no set itinerary, and the serendipity of a big leap between major phases of life.
Deena also tells her first-person, true stories at venues around New England and has appeared on the Flynn Main Stage and at Boston’s Women in Comedy Festival.
