Set in a declining, working-class town in 1980s America, The Long Way Home is a brilliantly introspective story of the struggle to find happiness in a life full of disappointment and unfulfilled hope.

Instead of being happily married, he remains single with only the memories of failed relationships to haunt him. Larry's only family is his angry, headstrong nephew Anthony, who has lost his parents to drunk driving.
Anna Nicholson is estranged from her family and trapped in an abusive relationship. With her youth fading and her life heading nowhere, Anna's despair has her ready to give up. Fate will bring Larry and Anna together, but their inner demons threaten to combine and sabotage their relationship before it can save them both.
A story of hope amidst the despair of lost dreams and declining opportunity, The Long Way Home is a book meant for those who struggle to find happiness in relationships or fear that they haven't lived the life they imagined.
