A truly delightful novel about the individual journey four.women partake in after meeting at a group for women grieving a loss of death. Upon deciding to take a.road trip together, not only do they discover so much about themselves but about each other. They slowly discover the deep truths in their lives and how to overcome those fears and to live more honestly both within and with others.

Despite being so different from one another, they soon learn they can gain so much from one another if they truly look at the other person without their own experiences her to g in the way.

What starts out as a journey with one goal in mind, soon each woman finds they actually have individual.ones they can and want to achieve in the trip. New realities unfold for each one and as a group. Friendships are built, new relationships are found and formed and each one begins to move forward in their lives with new perspectives, new friends, and new focuses on where they have been and where they are going.

Rating: 4.7

Cookie Cutter

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2018

If you like nice and neat, cookie cutter stories, the Long Way Home is for you. It was a sweet little story of four ladies in various stages of life, who hardly know each other, yet all agree to set out on a road trip to support Marnie and her plight to rescue her step son from his mom’s house in Vegas. Of all the characters I can’t say I had a favorite. TLWH was a little too smooth for my taste.

Very hokey

Not believable even for a book. Good idea just the events that happened don't ring true. Don't want to spoil it for anyone but one of them gets stabbed then she sneaks out of the hospital with no antibiotics or pain meds?? Then the same woman gets choked on a plane and she can talk afterwards???? And how about the woman with the bag of pills???? And let's face it, had this car load of women been women of color, would they have gotten the same treatment?? I think not!

To any and all women who may read this story. At anytime in our lives we can experience what the characters in this book faced, not necessarily at the respective age of our characters in this story, but certainly sometime in our life. Most importantly, no matter our age we should always strive to maintain a bit of "Jazzy" in our personalities. This story grabbed me, made me chuckle spontaneously, and had me rooting for the four characters on this journey. To the Author please keep writing, your tales help some of us escape our own lives and sometimes possibly give us courage to move ahead and away from where we are in our lives.

Too Long of a Trip

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020

I realize authors write fiction to give the reader an escape from the real world but this book just didn't hold my interest at all. I usually can find some parts of a story believable but not in the trip the ladies took. I realize because this story wasn't for me doesn't mean that another reader won't enjoy it!

A Stable Read

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2020

The Long Way Home kept my attention. Th characters were well-developed. The ONLY issue I have with the book was the fact that there was never an actual conversation about what happened with Laverne and Marnie at the rest stop with Max. Yeah, Laverne told the medical staff about the injury, but there was no conversation about it with Jazzy and Rita. I don't even think Rita was EVER told about it. That left a hole. Good stable book otherwise.

Nice Escape

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022

This book is very easy enjoyable reading and a nice escape from reality. It was heartwarming to see how Jazzy tuned into everyone's heart and soul & sincerely helped her friends. It was a Pollyanna story with a happy ending and at my age of 74, the only kind of stories I enjoy.

Homey characters

Isn't everyone intrigued by the possibility of knowing what lies around the next corner? That's what I liked about Karen McQuestion's novel. By giving Jazzy clairvoyance through her grandmother, the ground is layed for joyful adventure s for the car full of gentlle but quirky women. Each one has some sort of problem to fix, and by the end of the trip, each is in a better place. It's a gentle read, a. relaxing time with just the right amount of good humor and intrigue, a pleasant escape from the troubles of this old world.

What a delight!

This book is so much fun to read! I actually would put it aside just so I would not finish it, I knew I would miss all the great characters so much. The meaning if friendship, what makes a mother, the pain of losing someone to a violent death, the joys of living. Read this book to experience an amazing treat.

Loved this book. The book is a story of how women can change other women’s lives -friendship happens because of trust. These were probably the4 most odd people you would see getting together. It was fun to read and fun to read the ending
