“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 6:16 NIV<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the way, even through rocky patches, seems to be my life theme. We are never home until the journey ends, but we can get closer by asking where the good way is and then walking in it. Are you at a crossroads in your life? Let’s explore together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Patrick Doyle, the claim that time heals all wounds is a cruel lie.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1920, returning from WWI, Paddy finds Ireland creeping toward civil war. Invisible borders separate people, including Paddy and his pregnant girlfriend. With few prospects, Paddy sails to America. However, America is far from the land of opportunity he\u2019d hoped for. And worse, his girl refuses to follow him because of her political involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty years later, Patrick has moved on with his life, building a new family. A letter arrives, suggesting the child he\u2019d assumed died may be alive. Patrick\u2019s American daughter Mardell pushes him to find out what happened to her sister, named Juniper. Patrick anxiously sails to Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juniper endured a childhood in institutions, and when she\u2019s released, she moves on without the parents who left her. Operating an apothecary out of an inherited cottage where villagers are slow to trust outsiders, Juniper finally finds a home when her grandmother arrives. Just as she feels comfortable and content, her father shows up at her door, bringing shocking news about her mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding Juniper<\/em> invites readers on a journey of confronting the past, healing from old traumas, and redefining what family truly means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
