The story is about the journey of love for a man named Jake Williams. It begins when he meets a girl named Brandi Michaels at a local grocery store in Knoxville Tenn. He asks her out on a date and the relationship takes off. Following their first date, Jake falls in love with her, not knowing that just a few days before, his best friend, Oliver, had broken up with her. Not knowing this, they end up setting a date to get married. When the day comes, Brandi (his bride) ends up running back to his best man Oliver. Even though this was a lot to deal with, he had to find the courage and strength to go on with life and enjoy family while continuing his journey to find love. He ends up with the girl of his dreams and they live happily ever after.

By the time he was twenty-two, Dan Eldon had led a relief mission across Africa; worked as a graphic designer in New York; studied (intermittently) at four colleges; travelled through Europe, Africa, Japan, and the United States; founded a charity for Mozambiquan refugees; directed a film; written a book; started up his own photography business; and become a photojournalist for Reuters news agency, covering the famine and civil war in Somalia. There, in 1993, he was killed in an eruption of mob violence while on assignment. In a world of rules and regularity, Eldon was a renegade, a risk-taker, and an adventurer. His is no ordinary journal; it is an astonishing collage of photos, drawings, words, maps, and clippings that reveals his strange and vivid life. The Journey is the Destination is at once the vision of an artist in his prime and the unrestrained outpourings of a young man just beginning to live.

This book is a true story of three sisters who lived in South Carolina and were sold as slaves to a master in Mississippi. They were able to escape from him, ride a ferry as Stole-Away, swim the Mississippi River, hide in the woods and make it to a place that they had never heard of. They worked in fields with other slaves until they were able to travel to Mississippi. They married and started a community of their own.
