Look for Me There summary

Have you ever been scared to face your feelings? Shoved them away? Sometimes we don’t realize we’ve done so until later, when we build up the courage to face ourselves. That’s what happened to Luke after his father’s death.

Luke threw himself into work less than three months after his father passed. He received offers from various networks, and decided to accept a contract at NBC, his father’s network for sixteen years.

Some people jump in the deep end when doing something new, while others dip a toe in first.

Luke was one to start modestly, with a solo road trip through Maine. It was his first foray into exploring the world on his own and something he’d never done before – just drifting. No plans, no timeline. No company but himself and his pug, no purpose but exploring.

Have you ever experienced a moment where things start to sour, where what once was fun and exciting suddenly becomes routine and purposeless?

That’s exactly how things went after Luke’s conversation with his mother.

Have you ever taken a risk, unafraid of the outcome, because you knew it was the right thing to do?

That’s just how Luke felt as he approached the border of Israel. He’d heard of troubles people sometimes had crossing the border. He saw many guards – some younger even than him – carrying military rifles at the border. But he wasn’t afraid because he knew he was meant to be there.
