Let's Not Play Small: A Memoir of Divorce, Healing, and Reinvention Through Solo Travel.

Fischer shares a deeply personal and inspiring journey of starting over after heartbreak and rediscovering courage through solo travel.

After decades of living by everyone else’s expectations, Dawn made a bold decision in 2019 to walk away from a conventional life. What follows is a transformative adventure across the world—one that leads her not only to breathtaking destinations, but back to herself.

From boarding a cargo ship bound for Patagonia to sailing the Caribbean, walking 500 miles across Spain, and unexpectedly finding herself in a quiet village in India during a global pandemic, Dawn’s story is raw, funny, emotional, and unforgettable.

This powerful solo travel memoir explores themes of courage, healing after divorce, and personal reinvention.
