Emily Wilson refused to give up hope. Together, they escaped. Together, they survived. Together, they built a new life from the ashes of the old. This is their story. This is your next read.

A Woman of Faith and Grit

Nancy Storment

Nancy Storment spent decades in the classroom, teaching everyone from fourth graders to high school seniors. But she never stopped being a student herself. Every child who walked through her door taught her something new about patience, resilience, and the quiet power of showing up day after day.

About The Book

In Just One Day

Sometimes, families are torn apart by the people who are supposed to protect them.

Ida Barlow knew this truth well. Her stepson wanted her gone. John Barlow knew it too. His father saw him as nothing more than an obstacle. And Emily Wilson understood it better than most. The man who raised her sold her like livestock.

Three people. Two families. One enemy.

This is their story…

Words from Readers

Kind words from those who have walked this journey.
I could not put this book down. The way Ida, John, and Emily held onto their faith when everything was falling apart really hit home for me. I have been through some hard times myself, and this story reminded me that God is always there, even when we cannot see Him. The journey across the frontier felt so real. I felt like I was right there with them.

John Barlow broke my heart and then put it back together. He was just a boy when his father turned against him, but he grew into a man of incredible strength and integrity. And Emily was so brave. She lost everything and still kept fighting. I found myself praying for these characters as if they were real people. That is how good this book is.
