Publisher Description
Everyone knows Madeleine and Jack Hunter. Maddy is an award-winning TV anchorwoman. Jack is the head of her network. To the world, theirs is a storybook marriage. But behind the doors of their lush Georgetown home a different story emerges. Maddy has always tried to deny Jack’s subtle put-downs, control, and jealousy. She has no bruises, only the daggers of fear, humiliation, and isolation — as powerful as the gun or the fist, the wounds as deep. It seems impossible that a woman the nation idolizes lives in degradation and fear. Maddy’s secrets are well kept, even from herself. Maddy’s healing begins when she joins the First Lady’s Commission on Violence Against Women. There, she hears eerily familiar stories from terrified wives and girlfriends. And there she comes to know Bill Alexander, a distinguished diplomat. Bill suspects that something is terribly wrong in Maddy’s marriage and begs her to open her eyes. As she takes the first steps toward freedom, a remarkable series of events unfolds ... a stranger from Maddy’s past reappears ... White House headlines bring the nation to a standstill ... and a devastating tragedy forces Maddy to realize how much has been taken from her. Faced with the most difficult choice of her life, Maddy finds a strength she never knew she had and a gift that will change her life forever. With wisdom and compassion, bestselling novelist Danielle Steel reminds us that no one is exempt from the effects of abuse, in its subtlest forms. But at its core, Journey is a book about hope, about change, and about daring to be free.

"This is the first ever Daniele Steel book I have read. I was surprised by how good it was. Originally I bought this book for my mom because Danielle Steel is her favorite author. I ended up reading it just to try it and I'm glad I did. I thought that this book is not a normal love story. There is so much more than that. I actually cried when I read it and that literally never happened before. I think that anyone would like this story because I normally wouldn't read stuf like this and I loved it. I'm glad that I started with this book by Danielle Steel because now I'm eager to read her other books. Now I understand what by mom means when she says Danielle Steel is a great author."

" Truly a good read about mental/emotional abuse -- upsetting, for sure, but enlightening! "
— Judy, 1/9/2014 -
" A good look inside one woman's journey out of an abusive marriage. It's not the kind you expect, he's rich, powerful and well known, and never hits her, but abuses her and controls her in other ways. Of course there is the obligatory fairy tale ending, but is deeper than most of Steel's books. "
— Jennifer, 1/5/2014 -
" I liked this a lot, it's my favorite book of hers so far, good topic, nicely explored, still repeats herself and says things like "they had no other choice" but this one is better than some of the others. "

" This book deals with a very serious topic of subtle abuse which is just as bad or worse than physical abuse. However I found the book too predictable and sappy at the end. "
— Susan, 8/3/2013 -
" I found this book rather ordinary. It did deal with an important issue - domestic abuse, however, it felt dated and pedantic. An ok beach read, but nothing special. "
