THE LONG JOURNEY HOME
Book 1
Can she find the courage to live the life she was meant to live?
After years in an abusive marriage, Abby Wilder discovers her husband's infidelity. The overwhelming fear of leaving the controlling man she once loved seems easier to deal with now than her constant battle to keep her sham of a home life hidden from others and intact. With the help of a dear, older friend, Abby sneaks out of town...
She travels miles out of her way to keep her husband off her trail. However, she left her house in disarray and injured her arm, so blood and questions are left behind. Abby's dear friend accuses Abby's husband of abuse and possibly worse. Now, the authorities are looking for her. There's a reward for help in locating her whereabouts and it's growing. She's running scared.
While traveling, she finds a scruffy abandoned dog who adopts her, new friends who accept her, an older woman to rescue, and an honorable man who wants to heal her wounds.
But Abby needs the strength to face her past before she can build a future. Will she embrace the second chance that life is offering her to find her way home?
