Beginning in Beverly Hills and stretching across continents to Canada, where she ultimately builds a life of her own.What unfolds is not a linear autobiography. It is a reckoning.

Reinvention.Perfect for readers who loved Wild by Cheryl Strayed, Educated by Tara Westover, and Untamed by Glennon Doyle.Ideal for book clubs, Momentum explores the universal questions of identity, belonging, and what it truly means to build a life that is entirely your own.
