Wayfaring Stranger

What if a betrayal cost you everyone you loved? What if a deception took away all the familiar compass points and left you adrift in an unknown ocean? One morning, after an argument with her husband, Sophie finds herself inexplicably transported on her subway commute to a different city, to a new life. It is the beginning of a journey of self-discovery that takes her to far ports, to new friends and new lovers. But Sophie longs to return to the life she so mysteriously left behind. To her step-son, Luke, who is seven and believes in Sophie as his mother. To Phillip, her husband, who despite his betrayal, is her first love. By the time she learns the secret to returning, she has met a second love, the beleaguered Sergei, who has his own problems with betrayal and first loves.
