Publisher's Synopsis
Journey of Love tells the story of Max Rosen and Dori Kominski as they navigate the challenges that have either just popped up or been present in a lifetime of choices. For Max, it was the latter. His life has finally taken on an urgency in ways that were never of much concern. He lived care free, chasing women and sex, adventure and sex, spiritual enlightenment, and traveling to exotic lands. He never put anything away for the rainy day everyone warns will come.
Approaching his 50th birthday, he finds himself alone in his Los Angeles apartment, no true love in his life, out of work, and rapidly running out of money. He decides his only viable answer to feeling depressed, hopeless, and looking for a fentanyl cocktail in a dark alley of L.A, is to get back to his Bali life of yoga, temples, and the healing love of community. He will look for his answers in every nook and cranny Bali has to offer until he runs out of money or dies trying.
Dori celebrated her 40th birthday in grand style, happy with her life, her friends and her hilltop home in Sherman Oaks, California. Two years earlier, her doctors found a small tumor during a pelvic exam. Thanks to early detection and great care, her cancer was now in full remission. She was financially set for life after the inheritance of a vast real estate portfolio, but felt unsettled and restless living alone with no one to come home to. She decided it was time to take her dream yoga class in Thailand and start living the life she always imagined it would be.
She wanted her one love, her soulmate, and was willing to cross the equator to find him.
