BACK OF THE BOOK
A journey that will nourish the soul, touch the heart, uplift the spirit, and inspire the mind.
After the fairy tale of Happily Ever After ends in heartbreak, what then? From award-winning author River Faire comes an inspiring account of second chances, healing, inexplicable magic, and following the soul’s compass.
River, an alternative healer and Paris-trained chef – a decidedly reluctant mystic – returns to England from America to help his ex-partner, back from the brink of death. Stepping into a London life he left behind, haunted by ghosts, he finds himself on an unanticipated journey of the heart. When the two men relocate to the English countryside, he discovers more than a charming pastoral landscape, he unexpectedly glimpses the fabric of life itself.
With disarming honesty and a searching, lyrical voice, Where Two Worlds Touch is a soul-stirring narrative about navigating the intricacies of the human heart, no matter whom we love. An invitation to say yes to uncertainty and vulnerability, to trust the unknowable mystery of life, while seeking the place we belong and what is uniquely ours to bring. A genre-defying memoir – one part love story, one part celebration of the table, one part ode to nature, and one part soul guide – woven as an indelible offering that lingers long past the final page.
EXCERPT
I don’t eat on flights, and twelve hours have elapsed since my last meal, making me wobbly both from blood-sugar blues and the electromagnetic scramble of hurtling through the globe’s atmosphere. My stomach grumbles like a bear emerging from its winter den, and a decent coffee will be necessary before the long cab ride to the house.
At the counter, my ear struggles slightly to catch and decipher the inflections of the Polish national working at the till, and I fumble in a pocket for the wad of newly exchanged currency. The blonde girl, boredom inscribed across her angular features, hands me the monetary change as well as a number placard to take to my seat. Staring at the once familiar British coins in my palm, I reacquaint with their respective shapes and values. White ceramic cup perched on saucer, weaving around customers to an empty table, luggage parked beside me, I loosen the dark grey cashmere scarf around my neck. A hubbub of voices and clinking of coffee cups surrounds me.
