From The Best-Selling Author Kostas Krommydas [Over 200 000 Copies Sold in Greece Alone] “Had me gripped from start to finish.” Lesley Willsher The best journeys are the ones we never make. Some trips start with a suitcase in hand. Other, after a fight. And some when a new job forces you to drop everything and leave. Some journeys have been engraved in our souls. Because they hurt us.

But the thing you may only realize...
