Floating up to Wherever:
A Memoir

After moving overseas with her missionary pilot husband, Joy looks at a painting of Jesus and—with culture-crossed eyes—sees a familiar detail in a different light. The faith she had been raised in, wrestled with, and followed to the other side of the world dissolves in a single moment, leaving her to navigate not only a new country but a seemingly new universe. How do you unlearn your native language for reality? How do you walk away from the ground under your feet? Woven throughout her spiritual deconstruction is a relationship that threatens to be the unraveling of her marriage. Transcending its specificity of evangelicalism, religious trauma, purity culture, and infidelity: Floating Up To Wherever is a story of finding your way after your most fundamental assumptions turn upside down.
