"Recession Proof" by Kimberly S. Lin is a journey of self-discovery by one woman searching for personal happiness. Helen is a well-developed character living the life she thinks she is supposed to, with a boyfriend and a career that pays well. One day the whispers of unhappiness become full blown screams that must be heeded. The steps that Helen takes on her search for a job become a search for happiness and fulfillment, not the path that she “should” take but the one she wants to take. No boyfriend and no job; what to do next? A supportive friend and a confused family make life interesting and believable. The steps that Helen takes are steps that many of us need to take, a re-evaluation of what would make us each happy.
It is a follow your heart, feel good story. "Recession Proof" is an ideal story about taking a deeper look at what makes life worth living and fulfills the person inside each of us. The ideal time to look at what career each of us really wants, when many are searching for a new direction to travel. The search for love and job satisfaction is one that many of us struggle with and Helen, with some bumps, successfully navigates the rocky road of adulthood. The journey Helen takes is one that many can relate to and you don’t need a recession to take the trip, just the desire to be happy in one's skin. A great, relatable read with a familiar character, yourself.
