The Walkabout Scribe
He just wants to breathe the air…
After losing his mom to cancer, Kincade McClanahan plans a trip across the country where he can breathe the air, see the sights, and forget his pain.

He just wants to breathe the air...
After losing his mom to cancer, Kincade McClanahan plans a trip across the country where he can breathe the air, see the sights, and forget his pain. Along the way he realizes he’s not ready to be part of anyone’s story yet, and he longs to travel anonymously, sinking no roots and letting himself feel nothing. Yet the stories he encounters suck him in—a proposal, a search for a lost child, a girl recovering from surgery—and he has no idea how he’s going to find his way in the world with his heart so fragile and isolated.
At a friend’s farm he meets Priscilla, a woman who plans her life to the smallest degree and thinks Kincade’s plan to go walkabout is crazy. God shoves them together again and again, because Priscilla is secretly doubting her plan, and Kincade’s desire to find a new life fascinates her.
It isn’t until Priscilla goes walkabout herself that the pair starts to understand one another, for God intends for them to pull each other along in the journey of maturing, losing, and finding new life again.

When the Flanigans got home, their farm was a mess
Carmen, dance teacher the Casa Flanigan farm, hasn’t told anyone yet that her plans to travel with a dance troupe were derailed after her aunt, who raised her, suffered a stroke. Instead, she tries to teach and care for her aunt and grieve her lost future all on her own.
After his life falls apart, Carl Welles’ well-meaning family sends him to Casa Flanigan to heal.

Landon Van Hout, the farm caretaker while the Flanigans are away, doubts his place on the farm. Prone to accidents and running from his past, he worries his friends as he tries to make sense of his life.
When Luke and Susan come home unexpectedly, all the problems on their farm come to a head.
