Finding My Way Back Home tells the story of Nick and Lisa, two young adults from a small conservative community, from the Fraser Valley in British Columbia. After a teenage romance, the two meet again in 1965 as Nick is entering his last year at the University of British Columbia. Their relationship becomes intimate quickly, and Lisa discovers she is pregnant. Adamant that they do not want to marry right away, the two move to Vancouver, in part to avoid the scandal that they might face in their community. But Nick finds co-parenting an infant while being a student quite challenging, and he is tempted by the allure of campus life and two other women. Ultimately, Nick’s love for Lisa, including her exuberance and her zest for life, leads to his commitment to their life together. After five years in Vancouver, they move back to their rural community and return to the church. But the familiar setting is not immune to danger, and one day Nick overhears something that threatens his family.
