Despite having everything she could ask for, Janet Wilson couldn’t shake a sense of emptiness in her life or her desire to return to the continent of her birth. After many arguments, she and her husband agreed to embark on a daring adventure, driving 25,000 miles alone across Africa. They couldn’t anticipate how this trip would challenge almost every belief, opinion, and value they held. They collided with the world and each other. Africa reached out and threw everything at them, including—every traveler’s worst nightmare.

After a heartbreaking tragedy and Janet’s arrest, they made critical decisions that transformed their relationship, bringing them to a level of trust and commitment they had never experienced. Ultimately, this led them to a deeper understanding of their place in the world and each other’s lives.

A true account that explores themes of love, commitment, resilience, and the power of forgiveness in the face of adversity. It is a memoir of a woman’s transformation from brokenness to wholeness and a couple’s transformation from breakdown to breakthrough.
