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.

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.

Though I still like the first book better, this one was definitely a close second! It was a lovely story of love, loss, and love found again. Oh, I loved how Lori Wick brought the two together so slowly. I loved how she showed Paul as an imperfect human who made mistakes. In the end, he found his way back.

I love Grandma Em too who never gave up on her grandchildren.

This was a lovely book. Can't await to read the last book.

Great book easy to read. I can't wait to read another one by this auther this was the first one I have read by her and loved it.

I think this book, "The Long Road Home," by Lori Wick is really good. It is something that would appeal to all Christian fiction lovers and is a very entertaining ang good story. It's one that can be read again and again. In my opinion Lori wick writes top rate fiction!

Speedy delivery, well-packed, great book for all ages. This Christian writer brings a new light to pure histrorical romance writing!

The Lori Wicks books are easy to breeze through. They have a great good moral examples and light romance. It is written from the past values that existed and a pleasure to read.

The book arrived ahead of time and in great condition, just how it was described. Thanks for you effort!

This Christian fiction book is a quick read and yet has some depth to it. It's the third of the "Place Called Home" series and I think the best. It gives insight into feelings when one loses a spouse and shows two opposite ways of handling it. Paul Cameron was a Pastor who got angry at God for letting his spouse die so left the ministry. On the other hand, Abby, a pastor's wife, accepted her spouse's death as God's will and relied on Him for strength and comfort. Although predictably, Paul and Abby fall in love with each other; however, the journey of how they arrive there was very interesting and entertaining. I also liked how Lori Wick included humor when Abby was nursing Paul back to health.

It is well written and I believe anyone who has prayed for healing for someone and they died anyway can relate to the feelings expressed in this book through Paul and Abby.
