Synopsis
When Ute Reusch-Wilson was three years old, she and her family returned to their home in Essen, Germany, after an eleven-week trek as refugees in shattered, war-torn Germany. Stunned to see the house still standing, they began to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of war. Young Ute discovered a talent for dancing, and she was pulled into the world of ballet in England and Germany, with a sideline into television. An unexpected romance with a Canadian Air Force pilot and a
debilitating injury pulled her out of her artistic world and into a new life shaped by her husband's military commitments, and their shared love of sailing and adventure. When he died at a tragically young age due to cancer, Ute rewrote the rules of her life, turning it into a globe-spanning mosaic of love, friendship, and freedom, a way of life that has continued well past the age when most people stop rewriting their story. Equal parts lyrical, candid, and funny, A Life Without a Map is a memoir about resilience, adventure, and the stubborn courage required to keep moving when the road one expected to take keeps changing.

About the Author
Ute Reusch-Wilson has lived a colourful life. Born in the midst of World War II, during which she and her family became refugees in their native Germany, she went on to become a professional ballerina and television performer in Europe. This was followed by a stint in the Canadian diplomatic corps alongside her husband, a member of the Canadian Air Force, during which they entertained global leaders
and dignitaries from all over the world. She and her husband also sailed all over the Mediterranean and other places around Europe. In
her later years, Ute travelled extensively, with her adventures taking her to virtually every continent. Now settled in Comox, British
Columbia, she still spends winters in Ajijic, Mexico, and continues to explore the world, returning to Germany to visit family whenever
possible.
