Despite these and other life challenges, neither Lori nor Mark has lost hope.
Over 100 photos in this book chronicle the couple’s pilgrimage from Lake Stevens, Wash., to Brandon, Fla., a road trip undertaken in faith that, just as bad things happen that are unexplainable, God also keeps us safe and creates a world of beauty and wonder.
On the other side of the country, the sunny beaches of white sand and impossibly blue water, Lori’s parents, and the hope of better jobs await them. But like all such trips, it is not without risk or heartbreak – the couple must say goodbye to the place where they grew up, their three grown sons and a teenage daughter choosing to finish high school while living with her father. And so their journey through the United States is as much about letting go as it is about striking off into the unknown to seek a new start.
