The novella "The Journey" follows Stephanie and Daryl as they're stranded in the woods during winter. Stephanie is 9 months pregnant. Daryl wants to marry her and they're on their way to visit his family when they become lost. Stephanie's faith in God has been shattered by an abusive childhood and her journey into the woods offers a place for her to finally make peace with her past while also giving birth. This isn't a traditional romance nor is it a traditional inspirational story. That being said, it's a wonderful story about the internal struggle many people have with a faith that's been thrust upon them (in this case by Stephanie's reverend father) versus a faith found from within. And through it all is a strong love between Stephanie and Daryl.
