Coming right at the end of a major assignment, photojournalist Joanna James isn't as thrilled as one might expect when she receives another assignment--to ride the Orient-Express to Venice. Putting of a much-needed rest, she flies to London where she will, after a very brief stay, board the famed, newly-restored train. While in London, at a low ebb psychologically, she embarks on two affairs simultaneously, with two radically different men: Henry, her wryly witty British agent, and Tyler, an actor/producer/director she interviewed some years earlier. It feels to Joanna as if she's escaping chaos when she finally departs on the train, but she finds it difficult to regain her usual, self-protective emotional detachment. And as she train makes it way through Europe, she strikes up warm and surprisingly intimate friendships with several of the other passengers. These friendships hold throughout Joanna's stay in Venice, growing in seeming proportion to a new and altered sense of herself. This assignment offers Joanna a view into the hearts of her new friends but, more importantly, a clear view into her own.

(There are the visible flaws and the not-so-visible flaws,...)
There are the visible flaws and the not-so-visible flaws, but everyone has them -- or thinks they do. In the case of Caley Burrell, her flaws are very visible. Being sent face-first through the windshield of a car has left her irreparably, shockingly damaged. And after a number unsuccessful surgical procedures, she has said, No more. As a result of the accident, her life is as shattered as her face and she now wants either a beginning or an end. To all outward appearances Martin Maddox has it all: a wife and twin sons he adores, and great success as a painter. But Martin is a drunk, and his wife Marian has had enough. She's leaving Martin, taking the boys back to England. And he can't seem to bring himself to do the one thing that would stop this happening: give up drinking. Caley sets off on the highway in her big rattletrap car. And Martin flies to England in pursuit of his family, vowing to re-establish control of his life. But it is not to be. Two people traveling somewhat aimlessly on paths that are destined to converge. And when they arrive at the intersection, their faith and trust is to be put to one last test. They must each decide how much flaws, visible or invisible, actually matter to human interaction.
