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.
