On My Way Home

Clare LaFrace is a successful talent agent and mother of three daughters. Austin is the love of Clare's life and the mostly-absent father of her daughters. Clare had Gabriella when she was only sixteen, and this family's story has only grown more complicated with time. But though Austin's parents have always stood between their son and his girls, he and Clare have never stopped loving each other and he has never been able to fully keep his distance. Gabriella, the eldest daughter, is a high school graduate about to leave for Brown University. Upon learning her boyfriend is cheating on her, she dumps him and heads for home-but an emergency call from her best friend, Jason, sends her to his house instead. She arrives, suspecting a surprise going-away party to send her off to college. What she finds is certainly a surprise but one that will alter the course of her life forever. On My Way Home is a story of a loving mother, her three daughters, unrequited love, and a torn family that tries desperately to mend itself. This emotional journey explores the resilient human spirit's struggle in the face of life's unexpected tragedies.

Imagina que una tarde te encuentras con un mono, un cocodrilo, una cebra, un tigre y un hipopótamo. ¿Te unirías a ellos para chapotear en los charcos, saltar en una cama elástica y bailar? No podrás decir que no, será una tarde... ¡chachi piruli!

In a time of global awakening, a young woman and an enigmatic man fortuitously meet far away from home. Marina and Tiger try to make ends meet and look for the best life has to offer. Soon, their expectations clash, and after a climactic conflict, they break up. As Tiger drifts away, Marina is inspired by his notes and determined to write down his story as he would have told it, learning more about herself and the true nature of love in every scribble. Tiger’s story is a turbulent tale of a sensitive man who tries to understand the world and wants to elevate it to a more humane state. He is chased by a series of strange coincidences that challenge him to adjust his view and purify his mind. With settings in some of the most beautiful places on earth, On My Way Home, dissects our world and reveals its true nature. The reader has a choice: read the book as Tiger’s rollercoaster ride into awareness or as Marina’s testimony to the challenges of unconditional love.

On My Way Home is part-memoir/part-inspiration and insights drawn from the author's life experiences to highlight the practicality and power of surrendering one's life to the government of biblical principles: faith, love, obedience to God's Word, and intimacy with God. At eighteen years old, Dencle's journey takes a sudden, dramatic turn, and what began as a normal summer day in tropical Jamaica, a few miles away from the world-famous Negril beach, ends with radical changes in the values and pursuits of this teenager. One question led to another, and before he could fully appreciate what was happening, Dencle walked past his friends, all the way to the front of the church, knelt down and responded to the question that had firmly captured his mind and commanded this profound immediate response. This marked the beginning of a life-long quest to know God and to dig into the promise of a real God for real people. In Part 1 of On My Way Home, we are given a front-row seat as we are allowed to examine the author's life and background. Then in Part 2, he takes us with him on a journey of exploration as his life is transformed by his discoveries of God's character and makes a convincing case that we can have those same discoveries as well. On My Way Home simplifies the fundamentals of Christian living. The command to love the Lord and our neighbor, for example, is translated into a manageable slogan-"Love is primary, everything else is secondary"-that we can easily remember and apply to everyday situations, every point carefully explained so that the reader gets it. This book makes us feel like a life of faith and intimacy with God is right at our fingertips, ending with Dencle's glimpse of paradise and thoughts of home.

Belief or unbelief, righteousness or sin, heaven or hell? A lifetime of decisions. A lifetime of it maybe meaning everything, or maybe meaning nothing. We all make choices, but what about the consequences of those choices? Are you ready to find out?

Lessons Learned on My Way Home is the autobiography of Gloria Lewis Vaughn. Lessons allows the reader to visit some of the rooms of Gloria's life, to experience through her story the joys of childhood once again, to cheer as, like the Phoenix, she rises from the snare of addiction to the heights of redemption, while sharing universal lessons learned along the way. Lessons gives the glory to God, and to the reader valuable glimpses of practical application. From forgiveness, to deliverance, to gratitude and beyond, Lessons holds the mirror and gives not only a look at the author but a glimpse of oneself as well. "Gloria Lewis Vaughn reflects her rich experience growing up in a large family with strong parents. She captivates the reader with her passionate account of a wavering soul who initially resisted God's special calling. Her work is beautiful." -James Patterson Editorial Writer, Indianapolis Star "Vaughn's first work is a sparkling account of one woman's attempt to find her life in the modern urban wilderness. Her memory of family sustains her through great peril, and she engagingly recollects scenes of her home during childhood. With verve and whole-hearted enthusiasm she sets out on the ancient path taken by Augustine, Francis of Assissi, and St. John of the Cross. Vaughn's street-wise savvy gets tangled up with her burning quest for God in ways that are both hilarious and awe-inspiring." -Robert Coalson Editor, Broad Ripple Laser Type
