Long Way Home

A wonderful book! I felt as though the author was right in the room reading this wonderful story of a daughters struggle to understand and accept her Mother's coming out and the ensuing court struggle. Melissa Hart Romero writes in a charming, simple and right-to-the-heart manner which makes this story a real page turner. Highly recommended.

"First Time Authour"

"Long Way Home" is the story of three children who lose their mother in a custody battle when she comes out as a lesbian, and a homophobic court system sends the kids to live with their abusive father. The journal Voices of Youth of America (VOYA) says Bobbie Combs of Alternative Family Magazine says "As Ronnie narrates the events of her twelfth year and all the changes it brings, we witness her evolution from frightened girl to brave young woman. Hart truthfully narrates Ronnie's confusion, love for her family, burgeoning interest in boys, teasing at the hands of schoolmates, and struggles with friendships."As a first time author, I am writing to reviewers directly because books such as mine often get overlooked, due to their volatile themes. I would greatly appreciate any mention you might make of Long Way Home.
