Synopsis

Product Description

Debutante turned fugitive-from-justice Nancy Rutledge, who escaped the tiny north-Mississippi town of Oakdale just before being arrested for the murder of her mother, has some unfinished business to take care of in her hometown. And just how far is she willing to go to get even with her enemies, both real and imagined? Nancy, thanks to identity theft and a profound change of appearance, has morphed into best-selling childrens author and national sensation Chesapeake Rhea Edwards. Now living in the mountains of Colorado, she has fooled not only thousands of book buyers but many powerful people in the publishing industry. With demand for her book sky-high, she is in the middle of an 88-stop tour of the southeastern United States when the visit to the Oakdale Main Street bookstore finally rolls around. Of course Nancy knows she is taking a huge risk by sneaking back into town fifteen months later one false move or slipup and she will certainly be hauled away in cuffs by the local police department. But not only did she coordinate all aspects of the book tour strictly to put herself in this store, the whole notion of being an author was created to bring her face to face with two people: Keller Bryan, the love of her life, and Caitlyn Rutledge, who is Nancy s half-sister (and Keller s fiancé). Nancy is not leaving town without Keller, regardless of who gets hurt or dies. It is the only reason she is still alive.

Review

The Long Road Home establishes Joe Lee's significant talents as a writer to be reckoned with and a yarn spinner whose offbeat imagination rivals Carl Hiassen. --Sid Salter, Mississippi State University Journalist in Residence
