Maggie had always considered herself to be a very ordinary person, in an ordinary world, doing ordinary things. Suddenly, her life was anything but ordinary. In an unexpected turn of events, she found herself in a strange place and time, doing what she could, day after day. She continued to live a life that would bless others and follow that still, small voice urging her forward.

Facing situations she could never have imagined, dealing with things that would have profound consequences, she must often act quickly and decisively. At times, she is painfully aware that her choices could have life-or-death outcomes. She also experiences times which seem to drag on in silence, apparently without purpose or design. Each day, she must rely on influences outside of herself, the light within which is alternately bright and clear or so dim that it seems to be gone altogether.

Her journey from the medieval Black Forest down the Rhine River takes her to Amsterdam, at a time of great upheaval and change. Facing religious and political crises, she ministers to those around her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, she is burdened with the search for answers that elude her - Where had she come from? Why was she here?

Eventually, she will know some of the answers and realize that she has begun a journey. But what is her role in this unique sojourn? How can she know if she is fulfilling the purposes set for her by an unknown hand? These things drive her onward, seeking, hoping, and praying for the guidance she desperately needs. 

In this book, you will come to love Maggie and her faithful, indomitable spirit as she finds her way through many, many adventures.
