But when life takes an unfortunate turn, Emma is forced to reevaluate her life as everything around her crumbles. An unexpected incident leaves Emma heartbroken and devastated. But just like the saying goes, ‘When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade’, Emma is determined to turn her life around and she makes an impulsive decision that will prove to be life-changing in the long run. Emma leaves behind her life in Victoria, BC, and embarks on a journey to the land of the kangaroos and koalas —Australia. The change in scenery in her life makes a world of a difference in her perspective, relationships, and faith in God.
