This is the second volume of The Journey and continues the personal and family story of the authors beginning in 1949 when they migrated from Iowa to Maryland before their children were born. It tracks their life from Kansas to Ohio as new experiences beckon and the family grows. The loosely chronological anecdotal history reviews their shared life journey through times of change and shifts in society and concludes in 1984 after their youngest child graduates from college.

Part memoir, part anecdotal family history and genealogy, this is a personal book that explores the parallel lives of a two individuals beginning in 1925. Their life journey brings them together, and the narratives highlight their early years together before they had children. The quest into family history led to the inclusion of vignettes about a few family members of yesteryears to remind us that the family circle is wide. It includes the living and the dead and the yet-to-be.
