A Journey of the Heart
Laura had touched many lives as she was living her dream, but she had lived it alone, and voices were now reminding her that even bigger dreams might lie just beyond the horizon.
Robert’s own dreams had been shattered, and he found himself lost and alone in the darkness, a darkness which he did not understand and from which he could not escape.
From their very different lives and from inspirations as unique as the worlds from which they had come, their searches for purpose and light lead them to the Rhine. On an iconic journey through the heart of Europe, they pass castles and cathedrals, and deep valleys and hillsides covered in vineyards: truly a fairy tale setting.
But their journey is no fairy tale. Each tributary along the way and bend in the river brings magnificent vistas and even greater opportunities, but also brings conflict and choices. Which fork to take? Stay in the smooth water or risk the rapids? Beneath the quiet surface of the water lay real life, and Laura and Robert find more on their voyage than they could ever have imagined…or dreamed for.
Their voyage of discovery reveals the truth that always lies beneath:
Whether our journeys are marked by smooth sailing on calm waters or we have found ourselves blown far from our intended course, we never take those journeys alone.

Following his career as a veterinarian, the author continues to live out his dreams with his wife Nancy on their quiet little acreage, surrounded by their children and grandchildren, and by all sorts of creatures great and small. Grateful for the blessings of faith and family, Bert and Nancy enjoy the world through travel and outdoor sports, but mostly through the countless individual moments together of excitement and humor and chores and challenges that make up the real journey of life.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Outskirts Press has perfected the art of self-publishing. Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
