"For all young people who believe for every bend in the road, there is a rainbow at the end." Life can be tricky, and tough to navigate. Sometimes, it's difficult to understand. Emily found out the hard way and, at the newly-minted age of fourteen, she experiences unimaginable personal pain, and the challenges it brings. Forced to deal with unforeseen circumstances, she questions who she is, what she wants from life, and her familial roots-she searches for the place she truly belongs. Paula O'Neil's Journey's End chronicles the life-changing summer of Emily Matthews as she spends her summer at Crest View Ranch in the mountains of Colorado. Homesteaded by her great-grandparents, Emily embarks on a journey that will teach her the importance of family, its history, and how everyone, no matter their circumstances, needs to belong.
