Reflections of the Traveler – a travel-adventure contemporary romance novel by Peter Edler
A college-bound Boston writer, Peter, thinks he has a handle on his father’s untimely death, but he just can’t face his last high school summer stuck with summer school, work, and no break. And in writing class, he’s assigned a mysterious black textbook – with no text! …Or is it? Be careful what you write into that window to your soul for it is you, as yet a story unwritten. For as he expresses his own Darkness therein, he summons that which took his father and now stalks him.
Enter the perfect girl-next-door, Misty River – a West Coast breath of fresh air – who brings him out of the Darkness, only to suddenly leave without even a goodbye.
With his last summer hope ruined – just her far-off tropical vacation address and his quest on a journey across the West to reach it – are his only keys to salvation. But will his runaway road trip to adventure and summer beach romance lead him out of his dark urban funk on an arc to find capability and self-confidence through experience? Or will it only lure him further to his doom? Perhaps his mysterious black journal will guide him across the beautiful natural world now beckoning just over the horizon to his heart’s desire. For in his search for love, he must first find himself and where he belongs, with his only clues to self-discovery from the most unlikely of sources.
And would he dare risk it all and escape to hitch across the West on a wild quest to Hawaii in search of the one perfect first love in summer beach paradise that could save him from the impending Darkness? The real question is… What wouldn’t he do?
In search of a girl, on a road trip to love, he found where he belongs.
