For years, Grace ran a golden treadmill, achieving society's dreams, but neglecting her own. One birthday, she questions her path. In response, she breaks free-everything changes.

Join Grace on a Hero's Journey in search of meaning, fueled by artists, athletes, bikers, musicians, and surfers. Travel across Los Angeles and around the world as she meets friends, lovers, and strangers who impart unexpected wisdom. From beautiful beaches and iconic neighborhoods, to wild parties and memorable concerts, to intimate dinners and heartfelt conversations, Grace's experiences shift her perspective, opening doors she never imagined.

K. E. Gregg's debut novel, Paradise City, is a literary work of philosophical fiction that resonates with the cool of Joan Didion, the depth of Aldous Huxley, and the light of Paulo Coelho. Gregg's pulsing prose has a meditative quality that engages the senses and invites reflection.
