Destination Moon is an open-hearted memoir about passion and finding purpose from the woman whose mid-career one-eighty led her from Formula 1 to opening the world-famous Lune Croissanterie. At thirteen, Kate Reid already knew exactly where she was headed: a career in Formula 1, a life lived at full throttle. Like a master cartographer she had drawn the map of her future - all she had to do was follow the course she'd charted. But after earning a degree in aerospace engineering and taking up a coveted position at one of the top F1 teams in the UK, Kate discovered that the reality didn't exactly live up to the dream. The pursuit of perfection that had once made her reach for the moon now sent her spiralling into a life-threatening battle against depression and anorexia. From the grey skies of England and Monaco's glittering, million-dollar harbour, to Melbourne's trendy café scene and the spellbinding counters of Parisian patisseries, Kate searched for something that would bring meaning and passion back into her life: a destination worth driving towards at full speed.

ケイト・リードが綴る本書は、魂の再設計の記録です。F1の精度を求める世界から、クロワッサンの官能的な世界へ。そこにあるのは完璧主義の光と影、挫折の底で見出した真の情熱です。工学的視点と脆い心が交錯する描写は、単なる回顧録を超え、独自の文学的美学を宿しています。 目的地へ爆走する危うさと、立ち止まった先に見える真実。過酷な葛藤を経て彼女がパン作りに捧げた執着は、もはや救済に近いものです。読者はここから人生の地図を書き換える勇気を得るはずです。震えるような高揚感が全編に満ち溢れています。
