Love, distance, and a year on her own: A Bay Area author details her 'marriage sabbatical' in new memoir

As “gray divorce” rates climb across the country, one woman chose a different path. At 60, married therapist Leah Fisher set out on a year-long solo travel adventure — not to leave her husband, but to strengthen their relationship in a new way. In her book, "My Marriage Sabbatical: A Memoir of Solo Travel and Lasting Love," Fisher shares how she and her husband stayed emotionally connected while pursuing separate dreams.
