Journey

by Carol Anne Lawry

Becca, a fiercely independent teenager, runs away from Vancouver with her infant son, determined to live life on her own terms. Overwhelmed by responsibilities she is befriended by a mysterious shaman elder.

Together with three men, one a victim of Residential School abuse, they become entangled in an ancient prophecy.

With a hint of magical realism a small town in British Columbia is cast into an epic struggle. The fate of the mystical Stein Valley hangs in the balance. Faced with polarized opinions and small town politics, five extraordinary people reveal a story about love, connection, and our understanding of the meaning of home.
