About
The story of the Prodigal Son is one you may have heard before. It's a story you can find in the Bible.
A wayward son begs his father for his inheritance and leaves home, living extravagantly until the day when the money runs out. Soon he finds himself hungry enough to eat the swill that the pigs he works with are eating. When he comes to his senses, he returns home to his father.
It's the welcome of the father that makes this story so astonishing. Despite all that the son has done, the father welcomes him with open arms and throws a big party to celebrate his homecoming.
You may have heard this story many times or that you may never have heard it.
The Journey is a re-imagining of this story, told in the first person by a daughter.
This isn't a story for religious people, or Bible scholars. It's a story for anyone who wants to understand what this age-old story might sound like, retold for a 21st century audience.
It's not really a story about a daughter at all, but a story about a Father who never ceases to wait and hope that his children will return home to Him.
