About this product

Product Information

In January 1990, Janie Webster packed a few possessions and left San Francisco in the dark of night with her six-year-old daughter. She was certain of only one thing: She had to protect her child, even if it meant giving up everything and living life on the run. Janie Webster had an enviable marriage, a beautiful child, and enjoyable work. But when she discovered that her husband had sexually abused their daughter, everything changed. She began divorce proceedings, but the court allowed unsupervised visits between father and daughter. Then her husband was diagnosed with AIDS. Terrified that he could further abuse and even infect their daughter, Janie Webster knew that she had to flee. Mother and daughter embarked on a five-year journey, traveling to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Scotland, England, and Ireland. Although often discouraged, they found within their physical journey a deep spiritual meaning. With God's guidance, they established and reestablished new lives in the countries where they stayed, finding people they could trust, who provided them with friendship and assistance. With no way to prove the validity of their story, they learned not only to trust but also to be trusted. Despite the threat of deportation and imprisonment hanging over them, as well as their weariness from the strains of traveling, they sensed the hand of God engineering their safe passage. This chronicle of their fugitive years is a compelling journal of courage in the face of uncertainty, and the power of faith. It challenges us to ask ourselves how far we would go to keep our children safe and encourages us to listen to them and find the strength to act on their behalf.

Reviews
"Sexual abuse is always terrible--abuse by a parent is especially painful. To protect her daughter, Janie Webster took her on a pilgrimage around the world--their courage as it is reflected in this book is inspiring; the hope and faith that sustained them both are deeply impressive." --Esther Rantzen, BBC

by idampsyzq5w@del...Feb 07, 2008
This story will touch your heart!
The author gives a day by day account of her life "on the run" when she leaves the United States with her daughter to save her from spousal child abuse. The story is written with a great deal of faith, love, and courage. Janie is an incredible woman to do what she had to do. There was no other choice! Her faith in God gave her the strength to run and sustained her in many difficult situations. I am so glad to have met Janie this year, to learn about her story, and then purchased the book so I could read every moment of her five year journey around the world. It is one that I will read again and again! Janie is inspirational as a true woman of God!
