“Will you marry me?” Paul Cameron asked knowing the answer, he drew the 
tall slim Corrine into his arms. Corrine was ill and weak at the time but Paul believed she would be better by the wedding day. Two weeks later he was looking at his new bride’s dead body. She had never recovered from her illness and he was left with a shattered heart.
Hating everything and everyone, Paul left home and family and went to a lumber camp fighting the feeling of loneliness and sorrow that Corrine had left him with. HE doesn’t talk to any one and a moth later he is still feeling sorry for himself. When a tree falls and breaks both his legs Paul simply wants to die. He was lonely and had no reason to live. Corinne was gone and that was all he had lived for now he wanted to join her in death. His family sends him a red head to care for him. First he hates her and swears at her but and as time progresses, he starts to realizes he is falling for her but he believes that he is betraying his dead wife.
Abbey Finlayson, short, red headed, and not the thinnest person in the world. She knows exactly how Paul feels but Paul is acting like a baby and refusing to realize that he is not the only person who knows the feeling of having lost a loved one. Abbey herself has lost her husband but she’s not feeling sorry for herself even though her father-in-law threw her out and blamed her for James’ death. He threatened that if he ever found her he would kill her. She had gone to her aunts house because her parents lived to far and she didn’t have enough money to get there. She herself thought that it would be impossible to love again but Paul has some how gotten into her heart.
“Will you marry me?” Paul asked again hopefully looking into Abbey’s face. Abbey was shocked and told him she needed more time and Paul let her go but the next morning she wasn’t to be found. Paul realized she could be in danger from her father-in-law and went after her. Could he reach her before it was too late?
The Long Road Home is a book about love and trust. I think that there aren’t too many parts that need editing but it could be better. The ending is really not what you expect and I like that. In all The Long Road Home is a pretty good book.
