Summary

Journey Within is a story of love recaptured, as two people find themselves together, once again, on an exotic island, reliving a summer romance of near perfection that happened some twenty years ago. The reunion is bittersweet, however. Their emotional highs and lows are revealed by the elusiveness of years lost, and the intrusion of the proverbial third party—another woman who, at times, seems a more attractive fit in the main character’s familiar world.

But more than a love story, Journey Within is about a search, one man’s quest as he explores the underlying motivation behind his decision, ultimately, to walk away from the woman of his dreams.

Join Mike as he is catapulted into a spiritual adventure: a succession of lives that prove to be nothing more than mere chapters in a long journey through the ages, ending wherever the spirit survives.

Robert Ross has been writing advertising for most of his adult life. The idea for Journey Within was born from a close friend’s similar experience. However, as the book contends, what the spirit can remember the mind may not recall. So the angst of Mike, the main character, may well have been rooted in some distant time, long ago. Ross lives in Southern California.
