Book Synopsis

At seventeen, Gianna South embraces the Mormon faith--but her newfound conviction ignites the fury of those who despise it. After surviving a brutal attack by a violent mob, she knows she must leave or risk another assault. Desperate for safety, she agrees to a marriage of convenience with Jared Queen, the eldest son of a devoted family bound for Salt Lake City.

As the wagon train pushes west, Gianna faces betrayal, sickness, and heartbreaking loss. Every mile tests her strength and faith. Yet amid tragedy, an unexpected love begins to grow--one that will demand more courage than she has ever known. In a shocking twist of the plot, Gianna's greatest trial will come as she fights not only for survival, but for the love of Jared Queen, the man who is destined to change her life forever.

The Journey is a sweeping, heart wrenching story of faith, resilience, and love on the perilous road to Zion.
