Description

In the Fall of 2016, what began at a small funeral in Michigan inspired an unforgettable journey of self-discovery across the Atlantic.

Samantha Hohnstadt received the news on an ordinary Tuesday: her grandfather, the family patriarch, was in a fight for his life. Suddenly things like sending emails and talking to clients on the phone no longer seemed important. In the following weeks, her grandfather lost his battle, but not before inspiring one of his youngest granddaughters to rediscover the family lineage in Germany and Greece that originally brought their family to America generations ago.

Travel with Samantha as she treks across Europe, sometimes joyfully and sometimes stressfully, through coffee shops and vineyards and airports, searching for her roots. With a colorful cast of characters entering her life throughout the trip, Samantha quickly learns that the world is an extremely large and complex place -- but if you look hard enough, you'll find the best that humanity has to offer.
