Searching for the Caravan is a true story that begins in a wholesome, pastoral farming community in the Midwest, characterized by Christian principles. Eventually, Germaine's curiosity and determination led her on a journey through Europe as a single professional woman, and Asia and Southeast Asia with her husband and children. While spending seventeen years overseas-France, Switzerland, Pakistan, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand and Indonesia-Germaine encountered a multitude of cultures, religions and otherworldly phenomena that would ultimately clarify her own truth. Germaine's experiences-considered controversial and taboo-provoked a journey of another sort where her belief in all things she held sacred was called into question. Desperate to return to the grace she had forsaken in her youth and to understand the mechanics-the science-behind inexplicable events, she turned to God and ancient metaphysical principles (Feng Shui, BaZi, I-Ching) to analyze the extraordinary and regain control of her life. Germaine's story started out as a life review using metaphysical principles as a tool to explain the how and why of her existence, but it ended up as an exploration of the Divine as sifted through Love and Balance. Searching for the Caravan challenges the spiritual seeker and intellectually curious, and invites you to suspend your sense of the every day normal to suppose the every day not so normal. It is a unique odyssey not to be missed.
