All it took was one fire.
One fire to make the disgruntled villagers kick the local alcoholic’s family out the door with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
One fire to bring Fred Thorne face-to-face with his worst fear — accountability.
When Fred takes up the leadership of his younger sisters, he hopes to pass it on as soon as possible. But every promise of refuge ends in disaster, and no burden, it seems, could be harder to lose.
The Journey follows the Thorne siblings through rejection, captivity, and an increasing downward spiral of guilt as Fred fails time and time again to protect his family from the dangers of a hostile world. Will their search for safety ever end?
In a lyrical style reminiscent of the classics, The Journey pairs an intimate focus on individual nobodies and their struggles with the sweeping, large-scale setting of a valiant journey.
