Sometimes the longest journey is the one that leads you back home.
Getting on the wrong bus changed Sam Parker's life.
He had walked away from his family twelve years earlier, trying to find his place in the world. His wanderings uncovered things he hoped to find and others he wanted to forget. Surrendering to his demons brought him to rock bottom, with nowhere to go but up. Sam is given an unexpected second chance by a woman whose compassion changes everything. An overpowering dream compels him to finish his journey. Knowing he might never see her again, it was bittersweet when he had to leave her. When he reaches his destination, the startling news awaiting him turns his life upside down and leads to a future he could never have imagined, including helping his estranged brother fulfill a promise neither of them wants to keep. Sam realizes the physical distance was the easiest part of his journey. True reconciliation demands a steep price.
