If you have never tasted a fresh baguette from a French oven, or seen a sampan float past a sea of neon signs, climbed the Pyramids of Giza or gripped the fence at Auschwitz, then Journey Without End can help you understand what it was like to live in a world struggling to cope with itself. Journey Without End is the true story of one family's travels across five continents over a twenty-five year period.

Journey Without End is about the lessons you learn when home' has in turn been France in the politically charged 1970's, Korea in the boom of the 1980's Olympic development, and Hong Kong on the eve of its reunification with China. It is about an Alabaman country boy let loose on the world's great civilizations, trying to apply the lessons of his cotton-brokering upbringing to a world of silk dragons and European chateaus. It is about how friendships made in the crucible of tiny ex-patriot environments can withstand the erosion of decades. Most of all, it is about the struggle to define a family in the constant dislocation of international living.
