About this audiobook
This memoir traces Rodney Urand’s journey from a young man coming of age in Australia in the 1990s to building a complex, meaningful life in the United States. What begins as a story of travel and relocation becomes a deeper exploration of identity, belonging, love, failure, faith, and reinvention. Through candid reflection and hard-earned insight, Rodney examines the choices that shaped his relationships, his work, and his sense of self—sometimes with clarity, sometimes with regret, but always with honesty. The book does not present a polished success story; instead, it offers a raw account of trying, falling short, learning, and trying again. Along the way, readers are invited to reflect on their own journeys: the roles they play, the stories they tell themselves, and the courage it takes to evolve. This is a memoir about movement—across countries, across seasons of life, and toward a more authentic understanding of what it means to live deliberately.
