Between raising her nine-year-old daughter alone and barely making ends meet, she's lost sight of the things that once brought her joy.

When he ditches her on her birthday - again - a last-minute beach trip without him offers a glimpse of the life she's been missing. But the real awakening comes after the trip, forcing her to decide: will she cling to the familiar or risk everything for a new start?

When Ericka Woke Up is a moving story about self-discovery. second chances, and the power of walking away.
