The selfless act of breathing : a novel

Summary: Michael Kabongo is a British-Congolese teacher living in London when one day he suffers a devastating loss, and his life is thrown into a tailspin. As he struggles to find a way forward, Michael decides to spontaneously pack up and go to America - a place where he can become someone new, someone without a past filled with pain. On this transformative journey, Michael travels everywhere from New York City to San Francisco, splurging on big adventures with the intention of living the life of his dreams until the money in his bank account runs out.
