ANDREW AND THE OTHERS HAVE STUCK TO the exact route Cara mapped out for them. The Daphne De Silva books are like breadcrumbs, leading us home. Each one I pick up fills me with more love and hope and excitement.

And we always seem to find a book when we need it most. On our first day out after a two-day rainstorm. When we get low on food. When we’re tired and our feet ache and it seems like we can’t go on. Each time, there she is, in the middle of the road. With a note from Taylor, reminding us Daphne is still with us.

And it really feels like she is.

Four more days.

Four more days till I see Andrew again.
