About the Book
On the morning of her hundredth birthday, Sunny watches the dolphins at dawn—and remembers everything. Memories surface like waves—gardens tended in distant lands, students transformed by breath and movement, love found and cherished. One perfect day unfolds as ten decades of living bloom into wisdom. Trips Around the Sun follows a movement teacher reflecting on a lifetime of traveling, tasting, teaching, and paying attention. Through luminous flashbacks spanning continents, this debut novel explores what it means to live fully—not just for years, but for moments. This is a story about choosing—again and again—to show up for your own life.
