Let's face it, how many jobs are absolutely vocational? The imperative adjustment of human resources often makes it impossible to match expectations with jobs adapted to them. And in most cases frustration arises.
Some of this is what happens to Claire Flannery. Fed up with a job that doesn't motivate her at all, one fine day she drops everything and thinks about focusing on her true calling. Only this vocation is a subject yet to be defined.
Claire is a clear generational exponent for the young people of the last generations. Expectations, training, ideals ..., and the clash with reality. But what Claire does in the face of the abyss of indecision is take it easy. A one-year time frame sounds interesting as a time frame to discover yourself amid the maelstrom of society and the job market.
But free time does not have to be the solution to doubts. Without a clear objective and without finishing clarification, the days go by while the girl observes how everyone, the others, those who work, know what they want and are wonderfully happy, go through their routines with maddening tranquility.
But it may not be a bad thing in the end to stop to contemplate the stage, leave the circle to take perspective and look for your place from the outside.
A story about the search for social identity and the formula towards self-realization. A simple novel that tries to bring some calm amid the prevailing noise, in the face of the idea of formative perfection to achieve the ideal job. Claire can get to know herself completely, with her hobbies and her strengths, and from that consideration of herself as a whole, find the best synthesis.
