4.0 out of 5 stars Tragedy in two young lives results in bitterness and fear, February 9, 2000

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.
