Can missed connections and tragic loss in one generation be redeemed in the next? Can an ordinary house hold the key to that redemption?
Journeying Home is a sweeping, dual-timeline love story that begins in the early 1900s and unfolds across generations. It follows two strong women, Lizzy and Gwen, whose lives are separated by time, yet deeply intertwined.
In rural Virginia, Lizzy is determined to escape poverty and abuse. Resourceful and resilient, she becomes a nurse and travels to a field hospital in France during World War I. Though fiercely independent, Lizzy is also a romantic at heart. When she meets a charismatic American soldier, their relationship challenges everything she believes about love, duty, and the life she has worked so hard to create for herself.
In the present day, Gwen is navigating a difficult divorce and searching for a way forward. Drawn by a keepsake box left to her by her great-aunt Lizzy, she travels to Richmond, where she discovers Lizzy's old rowhouse and begins to uncover long buried family secrets. As Gwen pieces together Lizzy's past, she finds herself rebuilding her own life in unexpected ways.
Spanning continents and generations, Journeying Home explores love, loss, resilience, and the enduring power of connection-revealing how the past shapes the present and how healing can echo across time.
