For we are God's workmanship, created in Jesus Christ to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10

Rachel’s journey began the day she was diagnosed with leukemia.  But her fear of the disease turned to terror from the thought of having to face it alone when her best friend, Nicci, turned up missing  right after her diagnosis.  Nicci’s fall into an abandoned well was witnessed by a fleeing convict who was running from haunting demons from his childhood. But divine intervention forever connected these three in a series of climatic events that led them on a journey together to save Rachel’s life. 

Rachel’s Journey is the inspiring and heartwarming sequel to The Well, and together are a gentle reminder of how our trials and sufferings can be used by God to influence the lives of others, and how often our journey ends where it all began.

     Rachel couldn't imagine feeling any more frightened after her diagnosis of leukemia, that is until her best friend, Nicci, disappeared.  Two days of searching, along with the divine intervention of a guardian angel, led the search to an abandoned well where they found Nicci alive.  Little did either girl know, Nicci's brush with death would ultimately lead to Rachel's chance for survival of the leukemia that threatened her life.  It is a journey that began at the well, crossed many twisted paths along the way, and ended where it all began.

    Rachel's Journey is the captivating, inspiring, dramatic conclusion to The Well.  As Rachel's battle with leukemia brings her closer and closer to death, a desperate plan is undertaken by Nicci to find a donor match to save Rachel's life.  The terrified young man that made the anonymous tip which ultimately saved Nicci's life was drawn back into town, first out of curiosity, and then out of desperation to belong, to be accepted, and hopefully to be loved.  But he remained in the shadows.

    None of them had a choice but to take this journey together because God had led their way.  It was all part of His master plan.  And so it began.

    Rachel's Journey is a gentle, uplifting, and powerful reminder of how life, no matter how tragic or terrifying, can be used to influence the lives of others, and how our trials and sufferings are necessary to bring us to a place that God has predestined for us.  It is a magical blend of circumstances that prove at the end of the journey, if you pay attention, you can look back and see where it all began.
