The story

What Is Journey of the Heart About?

The premise of Journey of the Heart without spoilers.

Janice endures town gossip for four reasons—her heavy lipstick, oversized hair, single‑mother status, and the fact her two children are considered odd. Six‑year‑old Ray is a constant troublemaker, while nine‑year‑old Tony lives with autism. When Tony finally sits at the piano and gently plays “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” Janice sees a glimmer of hope for his future and for their family.
