Book Summary
Others would have given up long ago with burdens such as yours, but you are here. If only you could see the distance you have traveled. Know this: your journey was not without purpose. You shall see.
The road is immense, stretching as far as the eye can see. Among the countless individuals making their way ahead, a lone woman slowly presses forward, carrying a load far too heavy to bear. With no one with whom to share her burden, she yearns to reach the end of her painful journey. Just when she is ready to give up, the miracles begin.
An act of kindness. A word of encouragement. A reminder of her worth. Buoyed by the assistance of compassionate strangers along the path, the woman finds the strength to continue her journey until she finds the One who can offer her greater peace and acceptance than she has ever dreamed possible.
For those seeking respite from the pains and heartache of life, this profound tale of one broken traveler's journey is a powerful reminder of the love of the King of Kings, who is waiting with open arms to offer strength, love, and relief.

My Review
This beautiful parable, though short, has a huge impact on readers. Within its pages is a story of a woman carrying around many of life's burdens. All that she wants to do is come to the end of her journey. As we have all felt in our lives at one time or another, this woman is ready to give up when small miracles begin to happen. People along her journey start removing a small burden for her, one by one, and her pack becomes lighter. The kindness shown to her, along with encouraging words, leads her towards the King who will lift the final burden. I love how this story shows even with life's struggles, depression, guilt, and sorrow, the Savior is there to help us through our journey. I also love how people along the way helped the woman as people in our own lives help us too. This beautiful little book will make the perfect gift for friends and family who need a reminder about their worth and the love that can be found through our Savior's love.

Meet Illustrator Sarah Newell
“Storytelling has always featured in the forefront of my life.
Through the art of visual storytelling, I have found that we can reach
into the very souls of our viewers, encouraging them to become the best
they can be, whether that be exhibiting hope when all is lost, or
showing courage when we feel too small.” — Sarah Dawn Newell
