The Long Way Home by Karen McQuestion is the story of
four women on an unexpected road trip. Each woman is at a crossroad in their
lives and this trip could be the catalyst that propels them to make a choice
forward or not. Marnie is a 35-year-old kindergarten who is grieving the loss
of her longtime boyfriend as well as the loss of her “stepson” Troy, as the
Troy’s mother whisks him away, cutting off all contact. Rita is dealing with
the aftermath of her daughter’s murder was the man she believes is responsible can
go free. Laverne is Marine’s reclusive elderly neighbor. And Jazzy, the young,
vibrant woman who has a special ability that brings them all together on a road
trip to Las Vegas. Four strangers on a trip across a two-thousand-mile journey,
what could go wrong? How will the trip change the lives of these women? Or will
it?
The Long Way Home is a great book about
self-discovery, overcoming fears, and reaching for your heart’s desire. I
enjoyed every character. Marnie for her caution and determination. Rita for her
strive for justice. Laverne for throwing caution to the wind to take the trip
with three strangers. And Jazzy, the driving force bringing them together and
pushing them along. While some of the events were a bit far-fetched, but great
adventures always are, the overall message is the same: sometimes leaving helps
you find home, even if its back where you started. I recommend The Long Way
Home, it had me hooked from page one and I read into the night to finish
it.
