The Finer Things Club: The Summertime Chronicles of a Yellowstone Housekeeping Employee
As a 20-year-old college student and devout people pleaser, Lauren spent most of her young adult life doing everything she was supposed to do—studying, testing, and job hunting. One empty summer day, she decided to travel 1,300 miles to work for two seasons in the most desolate region in the United States: Yellowstone National Park.
With zero connections or internet service, Lauren ventured off into the Wyoming woods in search of the confidence she needed to become her truest self. Told with wit and style, The Finer Things Club captures the intimate moments of a life in the world’s very first national park.
