About Backpack Hearts
One backpack. One broken heart. One summer across Europe to find what she lost — and someone she never expected to meet. But when love knocks twice, will she open the door or run again?
Twenty-one-year-old Anna escapes Lviv with nothing but a rail pass, a battered journal, and the weight of a betrayal she can’t forget. Determined to rebuild herself, she drifts through Kraków, Berlin, Paris, Antwerp, Lyon, Marseille, and Venice, chasing hostels, street food, and the hope that a fresh city can silence old regrets.
In Antwerp she collides –literally–with Luc de Witte, a quiet Belgian photographer who brews black coffee stronger than his resolve to stay single. Their first kiss on a riverbank feels like a promise, yet Anna knows love is the one souvenir she can’t afford to pack.
But Europe has a way of folding distance, and fate keeps stamping their passports with chance meetings: a rain-soaked flea market in Paris, a moonlit ferry to Lyon, a Venetian alley where stolen journals resurface. Each encounter drags Anna closer to the truth she’s been running from-and to the man who makes her want to stop.
If the past catches up in Antwerp, can two runaway hearts find the courage to stay?
