The Journey

Northwest Passage, Book 2

De: John A. Heldt

Narrado por: Caroline Miller

Seattle, 2010. When her entrepreneur husband dies in an accident, Michelle Preston Richardson, 48, finds herself childless and directionless. She yearns for the simpler days of her youth, before she followed her high school sweetheart down a road that led to limitless riches but little fulfillment, and jumps at a chance to reconnect with her past at a class reunion. But when Michelle returns to Unionville, Oregon, and joins three classmates on a spur-of-the-moment tour of an abandoned mansion, she gets more than she asked for. She enters a mysterious room and is thrown back to 1979.

Distraught and destitute, Michelle finds a job as a secretary at Unionville High, where she guides her spirited younger self, Shelly Preston, and childhood friends through their tumultuous senior year. Along the way, she meets widowed teacher Robert Land and finds the love and happiness she had always sought. But that happiness is threatened when history intervenes, and Michelle must act quickly to save those she loves from deadly fates. Filled with humor and heartbreak, The Journey gives new meaning to friendship, courage, and commitment as it follows an unfulfilled soul through her second shot at life.

I loved this story

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.


As with all of John A Heldt books, there is history in all of these. This one in particular has a time traveler that is my age, so I could really relate to the time and place that she went back to and the history during this period.. I knew where I was during these historical events, which made this book even more special.

When Michelle goes back to 1979/80 and meets her younger self Shelley, (I think I'd be a little more surprised).. but has an opportunity to change some small things.

Caroline Miller did an awesome job narrating this book.. Highly recommend.

It was ok

I did not like the story at times. The writing was not something that I get into, I had a hard time with the lead character she seamed to do things that made no sense to me. The narrator was great ,nice job. I did receive this book for free for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Another Chance Time Travel

What did you love best about The Journey?

I liked the concept the author took with this time travel. Two separate journeys of yourself, as an adult and a youth. Both having lasting effects on the other.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed Caroline Miller's narration. Even though many of the voices were the same, it didn't detract from the overall listening experience. I've added a new author to my favorites list.
