Finding Ojai
A Novel by Lisa Snider
Susan is a career-driven young woman on the verge of thirty who is recruited to work at a world-class resort in a very funky new age town. From a ballroom on New Year's Eve 1999, where the balloon drop is filled with helium, a CEO drinks from his shoe and everyone is proposing marriage, her notion of success is challenged. She is torn between her aspirations in the shrewd corporate hospitality business and the eccentric hippie culture she now calls home. Susan's search for success and status lead her to a place she's never been: she finds herself.
Inspired by this short story and this play.
