HELENA’S JOURNEY

HELENAS RESA – HELENA’S JOURNEY

By Viveca Sten

An irresistible story filled with love, hope and new beginnings.

HELENA IS IN the midst of planning her and husband Fredrik’s joint 50th birthday party when she discovers that he has been having an affair. The party that was meant to be a celebration of their shared history instead becomes the starting point of a question she has never dared to ask before: Who is she when she no longer is someone’s wife?

IN AN ATTEMPT to heal her broken heart, Helena leaves her home and travels alone to a yoga retreat in Kerala, India. There she meets Michel – a sensitive, attentive, and charismatic Frenchman who, for the first time, makes her feel safe enough to speak her mind. He listens. He does not get angry when she disagrees. With him, Helena experiences what love can feel like without fear. Yet she cannot bring herself to tell him the truth: that she is still married.

UNDER THE KERALA sun, with the help of sunsets, yoga, and meditation, a new Helena emerges. But the choice between what has been and what could be is not always easy. How does she really want to live the rest of her life?

HELENA’S JOURNEY is a feel-good novel about a woman who has been someone else’s partner longer than she has been herself. It is a story about breaking lifelong patterns, about love that does not require submission, and about the courage to live truthfully.
