She is spurred on by a familiar calling, a hope of cleansing her consciousness, of taking a spirit walk. With no true destination, Caroline drives around the United States in her Mercedes Benz. On her travels, she crosses paths with many different people, each with their own story to tell. However, unbeknownst to Caroline, when she leaves to continue her journey, their journey ends. In a chance encounter in New Mexico, she meets Elisa, a young girl working in a coffee shop. Against Caroline’s better instinct, Elisa joins her for the last leg of the journey, as Caroline heads back to her home in Maine. However, with Elisa along for the ride, things take a different turn. Caroline’s path, her spirit walk, will finally become clearer as she reaches the end of this, her Homeric voyage. This is not a ghost story, nor is it a horror story. For buried within is a story of love, of what we do for it and how far we would go for it.

2010., Adult, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Call No: Fic Sar Edition: 1st U.S. ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "In 1551, King Joô III of Portugal gave Archduke Maximilian an unusual wedding present: an elephant named Solomon. The elephant<U+2019>s journey from Lisbon to Vienna was witnessed and remarked upon by scholars, historians, and ordinary people. Out of this material, José Saramago has spun a novel already heralded as 'a triumph of language, imagination, and humor' (El País). Solomon and his keeper, Subhro, begin in dismal conditions, forgotten in a corner of the palace grounds. When it occurs to the king and queen that an elephant would be an appropriate wedding gift, everyone rushes to get them ready: Subhro is given two new suits of clothes and Solomon a long overdue scrub. Accompanied by the Archduke, his new wife, and the royal guard, our unlikely heroes traverse a continent riven by the Reformation and civil wars. They make their way through the storied cities of northern Italy: Genoa, Piacenza, Mantua, Verona, Venice, and Trento, where the Council of Trent is in session. They brave the Alps and the terrifying Isarco and Brenner Passes; they sail across the Mediterranean Sea and up the Inn River (elephants, it turns out, are natural sailors). At last they make their grand entry into the imperial city. The Elephant<U+2019>s Journey is a delightful, witty tale of friendship and adventure."--Publisher.
