Overview

Everyone in Washington knows Madeleine and Jack Hunter. Maddy is an award-winning TV anchorwoman. Jack is the head of her network, an adviser to the President on media issues. To the world, theirs is a storybook marriage. Two brilliant careers. A long, loving partnership. But behind the locked doors of their lush Georgetown home, a very different story emerges. For as Maddy's career soars, a bitter edge has crept into Jack's words, a pattern of subtle put-downs, control, and jealousy that Maddy has always tried to ignore and deny. For Maddy, there are no bruises, no scars, only the daggers of fear, humiliation, and isolation. Their effect as powerful as the gun, the knife, or the fist, the wounds as deep. Through hard work, long years, and with Jack's help, Maddy has become a role model and a star. It seems impossible to believe that a woman the nation idolizes lives in degradation and fear. Only Maddy knows the terror in her heart. Her secrets are well kept, sometimes even from herself.

Maddy's journey to healing begins when the President's wife offers an extraordinary opportunity, the chance to join her newly formed Commission on Violence Against Women. There, Maddy hears chilling stories from terrified wives and girlfriends that sound eerily familiar. And there she comes to know Bill Alexander, a distinguished scholar and diplomat who also works on the commission. Bill suspects that something is terribly wrong in Maddy's marriage and begs her to open her eyes. And as Maddy slowly, painfully takes the first steps toward freedom, as she and Bill grow closer, a remarkable series of events begins to unfold...a stranger from Maddy's past suddenly reappears...White House headlines bring the nation to a standstill...and a devastating tragedy occurs, forcing Maddy to realize just how much she has lost and how much has been taken from her--her confidence, her trust, her self-respect. As she is faced with the most difficult choice of her life, Maddy's extraordinary journey comes to a close, and with it comes a strength she never knew she had and a gift she never could have expected--a gift that will change her life forever.

Set against a vivid backdrop of world-shattering events, Journey is a book about abuse, in its subtlest forms. The powerful effects that last a lifetime. With wisdom and compassion, bestselling novelist Danielle Steel reminds us that no one is exempt from the effects of this devastating disease, which crosses social borders, has no respect for money, power, or success. But at its core, Journey is a book about hope, about change, and about daring to be free.

Our Review
The Strength of Steel
As one of Washington, D.C.'s high-powered couples, Jack Hunter, the billionaire owner of a major television network, and his wife, Madeleine, a popular anchor on Jack's biggest nighttime news show, appear to have it all: wealth, popularity, good looks, and each other. They routinely rub elbows with the city's most powerful movers and shakers, including the president and first lady.

Yet beneath that idyllic public veneer lie some devastating secrets and a warped dynamic. Maddy feels she owes her success and perhaps even her life to Jack, for not only did he rescue her from a doomed marriage to an abusive husband, he single-handedly turned her into the sophisticated and successful TV star she is today, a fact he reminds her of often.

When the first lady appoints Maddy to a newly formed commission to study violence and abuse against women, Maddy starts to realize that her marriage to Jack is no healthier than her first marriage. While her first husband was physically abusive and Jack has never laid a hand on her, Maddy slowly comes to realize that Jack's controlling nature, along with the emotional abuse he dishes out, are just as bad...and getting worse every day.

In her struggle to break free of her life cycle of abuse, Maddy finds strength and solace in a new friend, Bill Alexander, a onetime diplomat whose wife died tragically at the hands of terrorists. But it will take several more incredible incidents -- an unexpected visitor from Maddy's distant past, a national tragedy, and a horrifying act of terrorism that nearly costs Maddy her life -- before she can find the courage and confidence to really break free.

Steel borrows dramatically from recent headlines in Journey, mirroring real-life events that have shattered the nation and the world. These broad-scope crises parallel and occasionally meet the personal ones faced by Maddy and others, resulting in courage and heroism that turns up in the most unlikely of places. Steel fans won't be disappointed: This is one journey well worth taking.

--Beth Amos

Publishers Weekly

Marital abuse in its most insidious form is the focus of Steel's (The House on Hope Street, etc.) dependable page-turner, her 50th novel. To the outside world, Washington, D.C., television coanchor Maddy Hunter appears to have an enviable life. Married to her boss, former football star-cum-media mogul Jack Hunter, she's got brains, beauty, a prestigious job, a glamorous marriage and all the trappings of success. Yet Maddy--whose current husband saved her from a physically abusive former spouse--is trapped in another relationship that's as devastating and destructive as her first. Jack doesn't hit Maddy, but he subjects her to mind games, put-downs and constant undermining; it's obvious psychological abuse to observers, though not to Maddy. Using Maddy's participation in a commission on violence against women chaired by the nation's First Lady, Steel explicates the various forms of spousal abuse, and although the text occasionally gets preachy, the desperate plight of women who remain in destructive situations is clearly delineated. Meanwhile, Maddy warily builds a friendship with Bill Alexander, a fellow committee member and former ambassador to Colombia whose wife was killed by kidnappers. Maddy's experience interacting with women like herself and the appearance of a daughter she gave up for adoption as an unwed teenager (and whom Jack forbids her to see) both have an impact. Still, it takes a life-threatening event to convince her finally to change her life and accept the gift of a good man's love. Steel has her formula down pat, and she executes her story with her usual smooth pacing. (Oct.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|

Meet the Author

Danielle Steel

Danielle Steel has been hailed as one of the world's most popular authors with over 430 million copies of her novels sold. Her many international bestsellers include: The House on Hope Street, The Wedding, Irresistible Forces, Granny Dan, Bittersweet, Mirror Image, The Klone and I, The Long Road Home, The Ghost, Special Delivery, The Ranch, and other highly acclaimed novels. She is also the author of His Bright Light, the story of her son Nick Traina's life and death.

Biography

When it comes to commanding bestseller lists, no writer can come close to Danielle Steel. Her work has been published in 47 countries, in 28 languages. She has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the author who has spent the most consecutive weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. She has not only published novels, but has written non-fiction, a book of poetry, and two series of children's books. Many of her books have been adapted for television movies, one of which (Jewels) was nominated for two Golden Globe awards. She has received the title of Chevalier of the distinguished Order of Arts and Letters by the French Government for her immense body of work. In short, to say that Steel is the single most popular living writer in the world is no overstatement.

Steel published her first novel, Going Home, when she was a mere 26 years old, and the book introduced readers to many of the themes that would dominate her novels for the next 30-odd years. It is an exploration of human relationships told dramatically, a story of the past's thrall on the present. Anyone familiar with Steel's work will recognize these themes as being close to her heart, as are familial issues, which are at the root of her many mega-sellers.

Although Steel has a reputation among critics as being a writer of fluffy, escapist fare, she never shies away from taking on dark subject matter, having addressed illnesses, incest, suicide, divorce, death, the Holocaust, and war in her work. Of course, even when she is handling unsavory topics, she does so entertainingly and with refinement. Her stories may often cross over into the realm of melodrama, but she never fails to spin a compelling yarn told with a skilled ear for dialogue and character, while consistently showing how one can overcome the greatest of tragedies. Ever prolific, she usually produces several books per year, often juggling multiple projects at the same time.

With all of the time and effort Steel puts into her work (she claims to sometimes spend as much as 20 hours a day at her keyboard), it is amazing that she still has time for a personal life. However, as one might assume from her work, family is still incredibly important to her, and she maintains a fairly private personal life. Fortunately for her millions of fans, she continues to devote more than a small piece of that life to them.

Good To Know

Along with her famed adult novels, Steel has also written two series of books for kids with the purpose of helping them through difficult situations, such as dealing with a new stepfather and coping with the death of a grandparent.

When Steel isn't working on her latest bestseller or spending time with her beloved family, she is devoting her time to one of several philanthropic projects to benefit the mentally ill, the homeless, and abused children.

Read an Excerpt

The long black limousine pulled up slowly, and came to a stop, in a long line of cars just like it. It was a balmy evening in early June, and two Marines stepped forward in practiced unison, as Madeleine Hunter emerged gracefully from the car in front of the east entrance to the White House. A brightly lit flag was fluttering in the summer breeze, and she smiled at one of the Marines as he saluted. She was tall and thin, in a white evening gown that draped elegantly from one shoulder. Her hair was dark and swept up in a neat French twist which showed off her long neck and single bare shoulder to perfection.

Her skin was creamy, her eyes blue, and she moved with enormous poise and grace in high-heeled silver sandals. Her eyes danced as she smiled, and stepped aside as a photographer flashed her picture. And then another, as her husband stepped out of the car and took his place beside her. Jack Hunter was powerfully built, a man of forty-five, he had made his first fortune in the course of a career in pro football, invested it brilliantly, and in time had traded and sold and bought first a radio station, then added television to it, and by forty owned one of the major cable networks. Jack Hunter had long since turned his good fortune into big business. And he was very big business.

The photographer snapped their photograph again, and then they swiftly disappeared into the White House. They made a striking couple, and had for seven years. Madeleine was thirty-four, and had been twenty-five when he discovered her in Knoxville. Her drawl had long since disappeared, as had his. Jack was from Dallas, and he spoke in powerful, clipped tones that convinced the listener instantly that he knew exactly what he was doing. He had dark eyes that pursued his quarry to all corners of the room, and he had a way of listening to several conversations at once, while still managing to seem intent on the person to whom he was speaking. There were times, people who knew him well said, when his eyes seemed to bore right through you, and other times when you felt he was about to caress you. There was something powerful and almost hypnotizing about him. Just looking at him, sleekly put together in his dinner jacket and perfectly starched shirt, his dark hair smoothly combed, he was someone one wanted to get to know and be close to.

He had had the same effect on Madeleine when they met, when she was barely more than a girl in Knoxville. She had had a Tennessee drawl then, she had come to Knoxville from Chattanooga. She'd been a receptionist at the television station where she worked, until a strike forced her into doing first weather, and then news, on camera. She was awkward and shy, but so beautiful that the viewers who saw her sat mesmerized as they stared at her. She looked more like a model or a movie star, but she had a girl-next-door quality about her that everyone loved, and a breathtaking ability to get right to the heart of a story. And Jack was bowled over when he first saw her. Her words as well as her eyes were searing.

"What do you do here, pretty girl? Break all the boys' hearts, I'll bet," he'd said to her. She didn't look a minute over twenty, though she was nearly five years older. He had stopped to talk to her when she came off the air.

"Not likely," she laughed. He was negotiating to buy the station. And he had, two months later. And as soon as he did, he made her co-anchor, and sent her to New York to teach her first everything she needed to learn about network news, and then how to do her hair and makeup. And the effect, when he saw her on the air again, was impressive. Within months, her career was off and running.

It was Jack who helped extricate her from the nightmare she had been living, with a husband she'd been married to since she was seventeen, who had committed every possible kind of abuse on her. It was no different from what she had seen happen in Chattanooga as a child, between her parents. Bobby Joe had been her high school sweetheart, and they'd been married for eight years when Jack Hunter bought the cable network in Washington, D.C., and made her an irresistible offer. He wanted her as his prime-time anchor, and promised her that if she came, he'd help her sort her life out, and cover all the most important stories.

He came to Knoxville himself in a limousine. She met him at the Greyhound bus station, with one small Samsonite bag and a look of terror. She got into the car with him without a sound, and they drove all the way to Washington together. It took Bobby Joe months to figure out where she was, and by then she had filed for divorce, with Jack's help, and a year later, they were married. She had been Mrs. Jack Hunter for seven years, and Bobby Joe and his unthinkable abuse on her were a dim nightmare. She was a star now. She led a fairy-tale life. She was known and respected and adored all across the country. And Jack treated her like a princess. As they walked into the White House arm in arm, and stood in the reception line, she looked relaxed and happy. Madeleine Hunter had no worries. She was married to an important, powerful man, who loved her, and she knew it. She knew that nothing bad would ever happen to her again. Jack Hunter wouldn't let it. She was safe now.

The President and First Lady shook hands with them in the East Room, and the President said in an undervoice to Jack that he wanted to catch a private moment with him later. Jack nodded, and smiled at him, as Madeleine chatted with the First Lady. They knew each other well. Maddy had interviewed her several times, and the Hunters were invited to the White House often. And as Madeleine drifted into the room on her husband's arm, heads turned, people smiled and nodded, everyone recognized her. It was a long, long way from Knoxville. She didn't know where Bobby Joe was now, and no longer cared. The life she had known with him seemed entirely unreal now. This was her reality, a world of power and important people, and she was a bright star among them.

They mingled with the other guests, and the French Ambassador chatted with Madeleine amiably and introduced her to his wife, while Jack moved away to speak to a Senator who was the head of the Senate Ethics Committee. There was a matter before them that Jack had been wanting to discuss with him. Madeleine saw them out of the corner of her eye, as the Brazilian Ambassador approached her, with an attractive Congresswoman from Mississippi. It was, as always, an interesting evening.

Steele is a master

NO one would ever doubt the quality of writing that comes from Daniele Steele. when it comes to writing of domestic violence, I am very glad she addressed this nasty subject, because of the reputation of the author, many will read Journey and become aware or perhaps more aware of someting in their own lives they choose to ignore. Every word that I have read by D. Steele is good, including Journey.

A WONDERFUL READ

Although sometimes repetitive and unrealistic, this book was amazing~I would recommend it to anyone who has read Steel in the past. The book has its slow parts, but there are some unbelievable twists throughout. D.S. does a good job at showing the real dangers of an abusive relationship.

Just amazing

It was a touching story and so realistic. As I was reading it, it made me realise what abusive victims go through; although, thankfully, I have not really shared that experience. I was an excellent book and it's great to see that someone can write something to open up the world's eyes and for them to see that abuse is part of life for many. Out of all the many novels that I read, Journey would definatly in my top 5 favourite books

Very Moving Story

I'm glad that Ms. Steele is helping to move the fight against domestic violence a step forward. This novel is about a different and much more subtle type of abuse, verbal and emotional abuse. It is very real, and very dangerous. I think it has been portrayed well here.

If you saw my review, and took my suggestion, email me. I could NOT stop reading it, literally. It's an awesome story that restored my interest in reading. It was so beautiful, heartbreaking, and captivating. It's truely about life giving you second chances and ways of making up for the past. It's my favorite book.

Deeply moving novel

A wonderful book for anyone. It was very touching to read about a woman who went through times no one ever could imagine. A journey to find herself and what truly matters in life. Also, experiences that delt with terrorists attacks. After 9-11, it feels as though all can relate, and hope that all our lives are a journey: to have hope and faith no matter what life's obstacles has to bring, and still rise up on top. HIGHLY Recommended!

I greatly enjoyed this novel of committment, courage and resilience. The heroine was a woman many can relate too. The shadow in America called Domestic Violence should be unveiled. Maddy was awesome in her ability to overcome and find her path to happiness.

Hits Home if you have ever been there...

While reading this book, I began to cry at parts. Not because of the book but because of its message that it sends. If you have ever lead Maddy Hunter's life then you can understand the pain and frustration that she feels. Many women are 'trapped' in these relationships where they feel like they are crazy to think that their non-physical abusive husbands/boyfriends are really abusers. Verbal abuse leaves scars that will never heal. Take if from someone who has been there. The joy of breaking free of these relationships is truly bittersweet. Danielle Steel really captures these emotions in an awesome tale. I hope one day I can find my Bill Alexander!!!!

Steel's 'Journey' Nets Ultimate Success

Danielle Steel's recently released 'Journey' kept my eyes on the pages for hours on end. There were times when I wanted to slap Jack Hunter, a media conoissoire, who treated his anchorwoman wife Maddie. She didn't realize she was in trouble, because she just accepted him and thought he was right all the time. Steel has a way of keeping my attention. I mean to sit down for half an hour and I end up reading half the novel. If you have some loose change, I highly recommend putting it together and buying this book, or any of her recent releases. Her writing is strong as 'steel'. Melissa Spangler The Daily News McKeesport, Pa.

A Truly Amazing Book!!!

This is Danielle Steel at her best. It is a truly amazing story about an abused woman. Maddy not only suffered physical abuse, but just when she thought she was out of an abusive relationship she realizes she has been living in another one that doen't leave physical scars. This was a very moving and real life story. It helped me to see things about myself that I never truly realized before. It also helped me to bring closure to issues that I have been dealing with for a long time. I HIGHLY recommend this book. Way to go Danielle!!!!

A journey for one woman

I thought this was another great Steel book, but had to agree with some of the review that said it was a bit repetitious. I kept waiting for Maddy to get the strength to leave her abusive husband and find herself, and when she did, she jumped right in to another relationship! A happy ending nonetheless.
