Sarah stared at the book, its title mocking her. "Sarah Jenkins: The Unexpected Journey." She hadn’t wanted a journey, unexpected or otherwise. She'd wanted a quiet life, filled with predictable routines. Now, strangers knew her secrets.

She felt a tremor in her hands as she picked it up. This intrusion into her life, it was like a cold hand wrapping around her heart. It made her want to withdraw, to shut everyone out.

She flipped the book open, her jaw clenched. She needed to do something, but she was trapped in a cage of her own indecision, frozen by a feeling she could not articulate, a feeling that ran deep and made her want to smash the book into a thousand pieces.
