A collection of fiction, poetry, essay, and memoir created by the members of the Redwood Writers Club and inspired by the theme of Journeys. All journeys begin in one place and end in another, having elements of challenge, change, and transformation. We asked our members, "Where have you been? Where would you go? Bring us into the worlds of your journeys, real and imagined." The result is a compilation of writing that explores the nature and adventure of life and how the paths we take shape who we are.
