Wealthy, talented, well-traveled Harvard professors, raised in elite Nantucket families—yet they are miserably unhappy, and closer to a bitter divorce every day.
In a final attempt to pull their marriage together, the pair embarks on a road trip to Florida during their fall break, to visit one of their former favorite vacation spots.
Then unexpectedly, they find themselves detouring and spending a night at a quaint, coastal Georgia bed and breakfast.
As it turns out, it’s not just any inn.
The kind, wise, yet mysterious host seems to somehow know exactly what they need to turn their marriage and their lives around—but it will involve deep personal changes to their privileged way of life, which the two may not be willing to make. . .

Full of twists and turns in the spectacular Golden Isles of Georgia, The Innkeeper's Journal is an uplifting, touching journey to self-discovery that will have you feeling empowered, encouraged, and grateful for what you'll discover along the way. . .

In March of 1938, a humble, wise African cobbler named Eli Tambo was quietly working in his Cape Town shop.
He was also thinking . . .
Though it was years before South Africa’s famous freedom movement began, Eli was thinking deeply about happiness for all people in his divided land—not just for the privileged ones.
At the same time, a distraught yet determined eighteen-year-old named Lucas Van der Meer was arriving in Cape Town from Holland. It was the beginning of what he hoped would be a transformative, healing journey of service after suffering an unthinkable family tragedy.

With their lives in danger and time running out, Eli and Lucas find themselves facing adversity that tests every ounce of their strength and courage.
Set in enchanting, awe-inspiring Africa,The Cobbler of Cape Town is a gripping, heroic tale, and an inspirational guide for those of us on a pilgrimage to overcome fear, doubt, and heartache—and make the world a better place.

A traveler whose life was destined to intersect with Royce Holloway’s—in an unforgettable way for them both.
