The Long Journey to Jake Palmer

What if there was a place where everything wrong in your life could be fixed?

Corporate trainer Jake Palmer coaches people to see deeper into themselves--yet he barely knows himself anymore. Recently divorced and weary of the business life, Jake reluctantly agrees to a lake-house vacation with friends, hoping to escape for ten days.

When he arrives, Jake hears the legend of Willow Lake--about a lost corridor that leads to a place where one's deepest longings will be fulfilled.

Jake scoffs at the idea, but can't shake a sliver of hope that the corridor is real. And when he meets a man who mutters cryptic speculations about the corridor, Jake is determined to find the path, find himself, and fix his crumbling life.

But "fixing things" is rarely that simple, and Jake's journey to healing will become more treacherous with each step he takes.

RT Book Reviews

4 1/2 stars. 'Rubart has done it again with another uniquely written, stellar novel. The author comes up with the most original, thought-provoking concepts that readers can take lessons from to apply to their own lives. On the surface, the story is engaging. Jake is a fascinating character with many layers and hidden pain. Yet delve deeper and there is a gold mine full of spiritual and personal treasures to uncover. Who wouldn't want to find a mysterious corridor that grants your deepest desires?'

Andy Andrews

'If you think fiction can't change your life and challenge you to be a better person, you need to read The Five Times I Met Myself.'

From the Publisher

'If you think fiction can't change your life and challenge you to be a better person, you need to read The Five Times I Met Myself.'--Andy Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of How Do You Kill 11 Million People, The Noticer, & The Traveler's Gift

'Entwined nicely with Jake's work concerning personal reflection and self-knowledge, the concept quickly takes over the story's momentum. Rubart's (The Five Times I Met Myself) style is candid and unobtrusive, making it easy to visualize the beauty and peace of the lake house. Key themes of forgiveness, rebirth, and emotional healing emerge organically through Jake's struggles. Rubart will leave readers inspired to ponder what the label is on their bottle.'--Publishers Weekly
