Meet Helena Buckinx, Author of Travellers in Transit Saturday, February 28 in Panama City

Are you still drifting if you at least know which direction you don’t want to go?

Lately, I have been comparing life and its daily routine with board games. I imagine that before we are born, we stand in front of a big cupboard and choose a game. Once we have made our choice, the course to victory is set and before we realise it, we are in the rat race. As the game progresses, however, doubts arise as to whether we are doing the right thing. I had reached a point where I wondered if I had chosen the right game and I dreamed of being able to roll the dice once more and start over again.

At the age of 31, Cassi is at a crossroads in her life. She has misgivings about her plans to marry Daniel, is bored with her job, and her relationship with family and friends is difficult. She yearns to be alone to think quietly and calmly for once. So her grandmother’s request that she clear out an attic in an otherwise empty house comes at just the right time. But it turns out Cassi is not even alone there. Will the family secrets and intrigues of the past bring Cassi insight into the present?

Travellers in transit is a family novel about relationships, standing up for yourself and making choices.
