Eighteen people. One journey. Eighteen stories no travel itinerary could ever plan for. When a group of friends from a small Brazilian city board a plane for Europe, each one carries far more than luggage. Diná, who never asks for help. Renata, who learned to keep going after losing everything. Lourdes, who holds the colors of life close. Júnior, who heard something in a small chapel in Normandy that no one else could hear. And fourteen more real people, with real stories - of resilience, faith, love, and longing. What We Carried Home is not a book about Europe. It is a book about what happens inside us when we leave the place where we have always been who we are. You don't need to have been to Europe to recognize yourself in these pages. You only need to have felt, at some point in your life, that there is a border inside you waiting to be crossed. A journey into ourselves.
