Book Description

THE LONG ROAD HOME

The swaggering stranger was every warning nurse Caitlin Severn had ever heard, all wrapped up in one handsome, dangerous package. Yet, from the moment she saw his motorcycle crash and his manly strength shatter, something about Simon Steele called to her soul ....

She stayed--and prayed--by his side. Slowly nursed him to health. And behind his bravado she found a man struggling for faith, for a feeling of family his harsh, foster care upbringing had denied him. And with Christmas coming, Caitlin asked only that Simon finally find his way home... to the Lord ...and to love.

Stealing Home: Three siblings discover that home is always where the heart is.

Love Inspired #86, January, 2000.

More About the Author

A transplanted city girl, Carolyne moved to the country when her fiancee and now husband, decided he wanted to farm. The move took quite well and Carolyne learned to milk cows, herd cows, drive a tractor, can, freeze, garden, bake, cook and preserve. She and her husband raised four wonderful children and took in numerous foster children. Somewhere along the way Carolyne decided she wanted to recreate her own version of the romance novels she loved reading. In her writing she yearns to show redemption and change and the chance to start over. Coming home to faith and love is a thread that is woven through every story she writes.

This book is one of my favorites. The author did a great job of telling a story that could really have happened.

The back of the book says:

There are three other books in this series. They are about his brother, his mother, and his half-sister.
