Description
At 55, entrepreneur Lynette is ready for a new chapter but unsure what it should be. After running her culinary school for decades and seeking adventure through travel, she takes time off to volunteer in Cambodia, hoping to find fresh inspiration. Immersing herself in the country's ongoing landmine crisis, she learns from demining teams, and meets survivors.
