In this captivating memoir, author Elizabeth Jacks Scott embarks upon a journey to unlock the truth about her forebears and the trauma they have carried for generations. 

When Scott, descendant of Irish shipbuilders and granddaughter of Baptist missionaries to India, inherits the family’s abandoned 1840s home, the building triggers an intense curiosity about her ancestors who lived there. JOURNEY TO SAFE HARBOR covers three generations of a family whose sacrifices made in the name of mission, commitment and duty ended with unintended tragic consequences for their children.
