John Smith gave the book to Joan Redfern, who apparently annotated it with a detailed chronicle of her love story with a strange visitor from beyond the stars. In the 21st century, this annotated version of the book fell in possession of her great grand daughter, Verity Newman, who published it, again titled Journal of Impossible Things as a partial biography of Joan herself. The Doctor, slowly dying from radiation sickness, attended a book signing by Newman, giving away his identity by naming himself as "The Doctor" (Verity recognized the name used by John Smith). He then asked Verity about Joan, going away to meet his final fate after being assured of Joan's ultimate happiness in life. (DW: The End of Time, Part Two)
