Loose Gates

Loose Gates is the story of one woman's transformational journey across continents to unlock long-held family secrets.

Janie Gallagher's brother, Jimmy, has been accused of committing a crime against one of her students, and Janie has reason to doubt his innocence. How could two people who once were so close, turn so belligerent towards each other? Can they ever heal the past? When Jimmy disappears, Janie's uneventful life in her small Texas town is suddenly turned upside down as she is forced to find him. At first she is terrified, but as she makes her way out into the world, she finds a deep well of strength. During her adventures in the sweltering jungles of Belize, the fast-life in Paris, exotic Cairo, and a stunning Alpine ski village, Janie crosses paths with men and women who are also at important crossroads in their lives. Traversing the globe, Janie not only learns the truth about Jimmy, she finds the joy of makeshift family, and her world blossoms in ways she never could have imagined.
