Klappentext zu "Reise des Schicksals " Amélie O'Connor verbringt ihre letzten Jahre in einem Altenheim in Louisiana. Sie ist dreiundneunzig Jahre alt, und nach dem Tod ihres Mannes Jack ist es still um sie geworden. Doch ihre Tür im Heim ist immer offen, um Freunde zum Besuch einzuladen. Die Frau, die eines Tages in dieser offenen Tür steht, ist freilich keine Freundin. Es ist Kat Thompson, die Ex-Verlobte von Amélies verstorbenem Mann Jack. Kat und Jack hatten sich schon seit der Schulzeit geliebt und wollten heiraten, sobald Jack aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zurückkam. Doch das Schicksal nahm eine grausame Wendung, als er während seines Kriegsdienstes in Europa Amélie begegnet, die in ihm die Chance sieht, aus einer verzweifelten Lage zu entkommen. Jetzt will Kat die Wahrheit wissen. Sie hat nie erfahren, warum Jack Amélie geheiratet hat, und die Ungewissheit vergiftet ihr das Leben. Also beginnt Amélie zu erzählen. Von den dunklen Jahren der Nazi-Besatzung in Paris. Von den Schrecken des Krieges. Und von einer großen Liebe, die ihr das Leben rettete.
