They were prisoners on their own journey—captured, betrayed, and dragged across a continent by a man who wanted them dead. But Ida Barlow refused to die. John Barlow refused to surrender. 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.
From the pages of Nancy Storment’s unforgettable journey of faith.



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.
That same spirit lives in her writing.
Today, Nancy still…
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…
