As a boy raised in rural Germany, Thomas Clay enjoyed the quiet farm life but dreamed of someday traveling to the Great America. Now as a teen, still grieving his father's death, he's faced with not only running the vineyard but also growing the family business to include tobacco and coffee imports. He plans a grand voyage to America and Panama, and just months before his ship is set to depart, he falls madly in love.
Beautiful and compassionate Elizabeth Klein works in the clothing shop when she is not nursing her ill parents. She is smitten with Thomas from the beginning, and among Thomas's family grapevines, the young lovers promise to marry as soon as Thomas's ship returns.
That single promise sets in motion a sixteen-year, world-traversing saga that neither of them bargained for. Shipwreck, heartbreak, hope, enslavement, gold, and war lie ahead as Thomas and Elizabeth wonder if they'll ever see each other again.
Voyage of No Return is a tale of resilience and love against all odds, from the River Rhine in Germany to the River of No Return in Idaho.
