Jennifer E. Smith Knihy

Sú cesty, na ktoré sa nemôžete vydať samaPo matkinej náhlej smrti a tesne pred uvedením svojho druhého albumu, na ktorý sa kládli vysoké nároky, sa speváčka Greta Jamesová sa psychicky zrúti na pódiu. Zábery sa rýchlo šíria internetom a jej ťažko budovaná kariéra je ohrozená. Práve pred tým ju otec varoval. Napokon, jej spevácky sen nikdy celkom neschvaľoval.O niekoľko mesiacov Greta neochotne súhlasí, že bude otca sprevádzať na plavbe po Aljaške. Možno je to ich posledná šanca nájsť si k sebe cestu, zmieriť sa so stratou milovanej matky a manželky a zároveň si vyjasniť krivdy, ktoré v sebe roky dusili. Greta na lodi spoznáva Bena Wildera, šarmantného historika, ktorý má počas plavby prednášať o knihe Jacka Londona Volanie divočiny. Greta sa snaží získať späť svoju sebadôveru, Ben zas čelí vlastným trápeniam, a tak sa ocitajú v situácii, keď sa navzájom priťahujú a spoliehajú jeden na druhého.Ďaleko od preplnených mestských sál a obklopená úžasnou scenériou Aljašky sa Greta konečne postaví čelom k vlastným rozhodnutiam, k zlomenému srdcu a k žiaľu, ktorý tak sužuje jej rodinu. Raz sa predsa musí rozhodnúť, ako ďalej so svojím životom a ako znovu nájsť svoj hlas.

Hadley má sedemnásť rokov. Chýbali jej len štyri minúty, aby stihla lietadlo do Londýna. Mala ísť na sobáš svojho otca so ženou, ktorú ešte nespoznala, no už ju nenávidí. Keď na letisku v New Yorku čaká na najbližšie lietadlo, stretne Oliviera, ktorý študuje v Spojených štátoch. Zapáči sa jej, až veľmi, no keď prídu v Londýne na colnicu, každý sa poberie svojou cestou. Cesty osudu sú však nevyspytateľné. Román Jennifer E. Smithovej zachytáva iba dvadsaťštyrihodinový úsek zo života tínedžerky Hadley, na konci ktorého sa znovu potvrdí stará dobrá pravda, že láska býva často hneď za rohom a prichádza vo chvíli, keď ju človek najmenej očakáva. Autorka však nepodáva banálny príbeh o dievčati zmietanom pochybnosťami o sebe samej a o svojom vzťahu k nečakane rozpadnutému manželstvu rodičov, naopak, je to príbeh o magickej sile osudu a schopnosti človeka prijať nepredvídateľný chod vecí tohto sveta, či už ide o dramatickú stratu ilúzii, alebo o nečakané citové prebudenie. Autorka prejavuje hlboké pochopenie pre citový zmätok dospievajúceho dievčaťa, ktoré napokon dokáže otvoriť srdce nielen svojej prvej veľkej láske, ale prijať doň znovu aj zavrhnutého otca.

And as they make their separate journeys in search of home, they discover that sometimes it is a person rather than a place that anchors you most in the world.
