Journey’s End cover

In Journey’s End, Vicky Maitland returns to England after twenty years, seeking answers about her husband Barney's past and the secrets that have haunted her family.

In Journey’s End, Josephine Cox revisits beloved characters from her earlier work, 'The Journey', weaving a tale that spans continents, decades, and generations of one family. The narrative unfolds as Vicky Maitland returns to England after twenty years, bringing with her the weight of unresolved family secrets and the search for truth. Her departure from Liverpool with her children for a new life in America was a significant turning point, leaving behind her husband Barney, whose sudden change of heart remains a mystery.

As Vicky steps onto the platform, memories flood back, and the journey home becomes a quest for understanding. The emotional turmoil she faces is palpable as she confronts the ghosts of her past. The story delves into the complexities of family dynamics, revealing how betrayal and silence can shape lives. Vicky's old friend, Lucy Baker, holds the key to the secrets that have lingered for decades, and the tension builds as Vicky seeks answers that may shatter her perception of her husband and their life together.

Journey’s End is not just a tale of personal discovery; it is a gripping historical suspense novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and the impact of choices made long ago. With vivid storytelling and rich character development, Cox captivates readers, inviting them to ponder the lengths one will go to uncover the truth.
