The Longest Journey Leads Us to Ourselves. Seven long years have passed since Anne last saw her son Torran. He left his hotel in an Indian mountain village—and vanished. Anne has given up everything to search for him: her life in Scotland, her marriage, and above all, herself. When Anne's niece Esther receives a new clue, the two women set off into the remote, almost untouched valleys of the Himalayas. But with every step, unspoken truths between them become clearer. In the end, Anne finds answers she wasn't looking for—and a place where her life, as unpredictable as the mountains themselves, finds a new beginning.
