Long Journey Home was such an endearing story. Two very broken people, both with hurts they thought they would never get past, thrown together in a way only God could have arranged.
Callie was a strong, yet beaten down woman. Her abusive ex-husband had left her because and while she was pregnant.
As they reluctantly get to know each other they each realize that their feeling are growing. Can this pair let go of their past hurts, let God heal their hearts and find love once more? What happens when Callies ex starts causing trouble?
Sharlene never disappoints. I highly recommend this book. Her Heroines are always strong and her heros are to die for!!! I found I liked Callie and Dan so much I hated to see the book come to a close.

Dan is very drawn to Callie and has this protectiveness he feels toward her. Callie isn't really 'afraid' of Dan but her ex has taught her to be cautious. As they reluctantly get to know each other they each realize that their feeling are growing. Can this pair let go of their past hurts, let God heal their hearts and find love once more?
