Odyssey of Ashes traces the offbeat and aching pilgrimage of a young woman caught in the undertow of grief and existential unraveling. Reeling from the death of her estranged father, she embarks on a raw, ash-scattering road trip; equal parts eulogy and escape. With wit sharpened by sorrow and a longing for something more than survival, she stumbles through deserts, diners, and dead ends in search of meaning, connection, and a place to finally set something down.
At once lyrical and unsentimental, this debut is a meditation on memory, misattunement, and the crooked, often darkly funny path toward becoming whole.

Tracie is a reluctant author who, after a lifetime of misadventure and mysterious events, finally began writing them down - if only to remember they actually happened. "Better late than never," she figured, starting her autobiographical journey in the wake of her father's passing. Alongside her son; and occasionally a cat, some birds, a dog or two, a plant, and now you, dear reader; she explores grief, memory, and meaning. From the deep-fried, Bible-belt South to temples tucked in the mountains of Asia, Tracie's once-aimless wanderings begin to find purpose and meaning through the stories she tells.
