Madeleine Hunter is an award-winning television anchorwoman; her husband Jack runs her network and advises the President on media issues. To the world theirs is a storybook marriage. Behind the locked doors of their home, the woman the nation idolises lives in degradation and fear.

There are no bruises and no scars - only the daggers of subtle put-downs, control, jealousy and isolation that Maddy has spent years explaining away. As her career soars, Jack's words grow more bitter.

Her journey towards healing begins when the President's wife invites her to join a newly formed Commission on Violence against Women, where she meets Bill Alexander, a scholar and diplomat serving on the same commission. At its core, Journey is a book about hope, about change, and about daring to be free.
