The setting of Journey of the Heart is in California, Sonoma County, right after World War II. In the story, Rachel Santori, the heir to a California winery at the brink of its ruin, hires James DeMera, a door-to-door Bible salesman who had fought in the war. James aids Rachel in saving her winery, and they fall in love as James finds a home and a calling.

The story is fluid, pleasant, and the characters are very well drawn. Most of the main characters' misfortunes has happened in the past. Whatever conflict is left is minor and occurs outside of their relationship, which makes the reading of this book entertaining and worry-free. There are no negatives here, no jealousies, hate, or revenge, and the only strong emotion is romantic love.
