What a heart-warming and emotional ride! This memoir does not stick you in the back seat but allows you the liberty of riding ‘shotgun’. Upfront, you witness the deeply poignant tale Meg Stafford and her daughters weave together. From soaring heights to silent temples, whatever adventure there is to experience and feel is yours too. There is something so complementary about travel and the human mind. We always learn and connect. Who will accompany you on your travels? What different encounters can you enjoy with others? Bilbo Baggins said it best when he told Frodo: “You step onto the road, and, if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

"Meg and her daughters’ prose put me right there: trekking in Nepal or bouncing on the bus in remote Colombia. With humor and so much heart, this is more than a travel story; it’s the story of letting go and watching your children fly."

Kathleen Klofft, Travel Educator and Editor of GoSeeItTravel.com

"So profoundly moving, so beautifully crafted, so brave.

This is a story about being true to oneself. Stafford brings all of herself to the reader as she shares her fears, doubts, triumphs, excitement, and love of life. This book is 100% authentic —because it is so human, so real."

Susan Frankl, MD, Harvard Medical School

"Join Stafford as she shares her unusual and adventurous travels, both as a parent and as a global citizen. She explores a parent’s central dilemma: How do we hold our children close and allow them the freedom to grow and be themselves? She asks, Where are we headed in life? Who will come with us on the journey? And she doesn’t hide the struggle as she tries (with love, curiosity and humor) to find the answers."

“Meg is an accomplished therapist, memoirist and organizational consultant. Now with “Who Will Accompany You?,” her second memoir, Meg illuminates how there may be no greater test in parenting than trekking around the globe with your adult daughters. While she will always be mom, this is a delightful masterclass in auditioning one another as adult fellow travelers. A humor-filled, and colorful triumph! The voices of Meg, Kate and Gale are distinct while their love, humor and trust are the bungee cords holding these three together, supple and strong.”

“I can’t stop talking about this book! Its touching anecdotes and descriptions of unusual places keep finding their way into my conversation. From exotic or risky parts of the world, Meg Stafford’s courageous daughters meld awareness, service, and international adventure at such young ages.

Shepherded by the keen awareness of a mom who supports their global journeys, “Who Will Accompany You” speaks to many angles of staying true to our own paths. I adore the rotating voices and perspectives of a mother and two daughters, woven together by a warm, golden thread of rich spirituality and love. This book will stay with you. Don’t miss it.”
