The Meaning of life is one of those questions that gets asked from generation to generation. As complex as it may seem, the answer to one of the world's most enigmatic questions is relatively simple. Only when we get to a certain age or achieve certain experiences in life can we truly understand the real meaning. Life is in essence a journey which has long, short and winding roads, all with different terrains represented by our personal circumstances. Although our circumstances may hinder what we can do in life, they can't stop what we can learn. Life has a beginning and an end but just like most journeys we embark on, it isn't about how you start or end it, but what you choose to do along the way that counts. This story takes you on a journey through the eyes of a multigenerational family and lets you discover the answer to this question through their experiences of Joy and tribulations. Their stories represent situations we can all resonate with from our own experiences or the ones we are yet to embark on. A novel of self discovery, reflection and an ever present yearning to know more about this thing we call life.
