Voyage of No Return

By Dorian Clay

As a boy raised in rural Germany, Thomas Clay enjoyed the quiet farm life but dreamed of someday traveling to the Great America. Now as a teen, still grieving his father's death, he's faced with not only running the vineyard but also growing the family business to include tobacco and coffee imports. He plans a grand voyage to America and Panama, and just months before his ship is set to depart, he falls madly in love.

Beautiful and compassionate Elizabeth Klein works in the clothing shop when she is not nursing her ill parents. She is smitten with Thomas from the beginning, and among Thomas's family grapevines, the young lovers promise to marry as soon as Thomas's ship returns.

That single promise sets in motion a sixteen-year, world-traversing saga that neither of them bargained for. Shipwreck, heartbreak, hope, enslavement, gold, and war lie ahead as Thomas and Elizabeth wonder if they'll ever see each other again.

Voyage of No Return is a tale of resilience and love against all odds, from the River Rhine in Germany to the River of No Return in Idaho.

Voyage of: Not Able To Put This Book Down!

Absolutely mind boggling that these humans survived their onslaught of death-defying feats, one after the other. The author had me mentally engaged from the first chapter. 549 pages in, I wasn't ready for the book to be over! Tough, tough people. Very inspiring. A lot of connectable history still alive today that you'll be driven to go visit to see firsthand.
