The Long Road Home (A Place Called Home Series #3) [Hardcover]

Lori Wick (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2001

 “She can’t be dead!” the young pastor cried as he looked down at the still, white face of his new bride. Blinded by bitterness, Paul Cameron leaves his church and flees to a logging camp deep in the north woods of Wisconsin. There he wrestles with his loss—unable to get Corrine out of his mind and unwilling to make peace with God.

When a falling tree crushes his legs, Paul can run no further. Broken now in body as well as spirit, he must face his own heart as he encounters the love of God in the patient care of his nurse, Abigail Finlayson.

The Long Road Home touches shattered dreams with God’s faithfulness and the possibility of new love in this turn–of–the–century romance.

This review is from: The Long Road Home (A Place Called Home Series #3) (Paperback)

The youngest Cameron brother, Paul is pastoring his first church when tragedy hits hard. He runs, turns his back on God and his loving family and wishes for death. At the same time, Abigail is burying her beloved Ian, a minister. Ian's father blames her for his death and vows to get even. With this fear, she travels far away and ends up falling back on her nursing experience to care for the critically injured Paul. His anger and her fear cause them to clash until he regains his health and she leads him back to God. What then? I enjoyed this book number 3 of this series by Lori Wick. I would recommend it to those who like easy reading and simple and sweet lives of people of yesteryear.

5.0 out of 5 stars For all romantics at heart, June 11, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Long Road Home (A Harvest House fireside romance) (Paperback)

The Long Road Home is a great book for evey romantic at heart. The novel leads readers down a path of adventure and bitter heartbreak. I really enjoyed this novel; many times I had to force myself to put it down! The Bible verses and the characters' faith in God throughout the entire novel were of great encouragement to me. No matter what the circumstance the two characters remain steadfast in their faith. The struggles the characters face are practical and can be easily applied to everyday life,even if you don't experience that particular difficulty. For example,both of th main characters experience the loss of their mate. Both are shattered. Paul becomes bitter, while Abby accepts what is and tries to make the best of it.They find that the best way to deal with your struggles is to give them to God and in doing so life will be much easier. Who knows there may even be a reward ??? Read this book, you won't be sorry you did!

This is a good example of how Lori Wicks' writing dos'nt always start out with a happy begining.It is well wrote and I have read it at least 6x. If you you like Lori Wicks books I advise you read this one and get caught in the romance of Paul and Abigail.
