Searching for Unique

The Prairies Book Review: "Certainly a keeper...

Searching for Unique, O'Hare's second book is a sincere effort at creating a well-informed travel to remote, challenging places. The matter-of-fact narrative takes readers to heartwarming journey across exotic lands while exploring different social causes: affordable housing, cost of living, and children's education in developing countries among others. The stunning black and white pictures are a treat to the eyes." 

Nancy McNair, travel lover and marketing enthusiast: "Searching for Unique was just that, a compilation that threads together Nancy's travels in a way that allows you to pick up any chapter and immerse yourself in her next adventure. Not only that, Nancy provides invaluable information related to each story in hopes that this may be a jumping off point in your own 'search for unique'."

Judge, 8th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published eBook Awards: "Through essays that highlight both history and her personal experiences, Nancy O'Hare has crafted a book that will help you fill up your bucket list, and keep your wanderlust alive. It is perfect for people who want to collect memories, not just passport stamps, and for those who love to travel vicariously by reading about the journeys of others. A continuous theme in the essays is the author's belief that we can and should embrace cultural differences, and that the more experiences we have, the more we see similarities. The author's passion for beauty and the discovery of more obscure destinations shines through and is infectious.

Because this book contains both narrative and practical advice, it is written for travelers, not tourists. It's going to appeal to some people more than others and can't be all things to everyone. There are sections of tips for those who wish to follow in the author's footsteps, but readers will need to do more research on a particular location if they actually wish to visit. For this reason, it would be wise for the author to focus marketing and sales copy on the fact that this is both a piece of travel memoir and a jumping-off place for would-be adventurers."
