Three Things You Need to Know About Rockets: A Real-Life Scottish Fairy Tale
- Used Book in Good Condition
In this inspiring, delightful memoir, a young woman decides to escape the daily grind and turn her â€œwhat ifâ€ fantasy into a reality, only to find workâ€”and a manâ€”she loves in one fell swoop, all in a secondhand bookstore in a quaint Scottish town.

Jessica Fox was living in Hollywood, an ambitious 26-year-old film-maker with a high-stress job at NASA. Working late one night, craving another life, she was seized by a moment of inspiration and tapped â€œsecond hand bookshop Scotlandâ€ into Google. She clicked the first link she saw.

A month later, she arrived 2,000 miles across the Atlantic in Wigtown, on the west coast of Scotland, and knocked on the door of the bookshop she would be living in for the next month . . .

The rollercoaster journey that ensuedâ€”taking in Scottish Hanukkah, yoga on Gallowayâ€™s west coast, and a waxing that she will never forgetâ€”would both break and mend her heart. It would also teach her that sometimes we must have the courage to travel the path less taken. Only then can we truly become the writers of our own stories.
