The Long Road Home

By: Whitten, G. A.

Two brothers. One Past they Couldn't Escape.

When prosecutor Andy Sullivan returns to Abbeville, South Carolina, he's forced to face the life he left behind - a childhood shaped by fear, a mother who tried to hold her family together, and a father whose violence never truly let them go. His younger brother Phillip chose a different path - one that ends on death row for killing the man who haunted them both.

Through letters written in his final days, Phillip leads Andy back to the moments that defined them - the garage where they dreamed over a worn '57 Chevy Bel-Air, and the quiet places where they once believed life could be different. As the past unfolds, Andy must confront what forgiveness really means - and whether some bonds can survive even the hardest truths. The Long Road Home is a powerful Southern novel about brotherhood, redemption, and the long journey toward peace.

As Andy returns home, the past begins to surface in quiet, unexpected ways-an old house on Cherry Street, long-forgotten roads, and memories shaped by fear, loyalty, and the complicated bond between brothers. With each passing day, Andy is forced to confront not only what happened to Phillip... but the choices that led them both here.

Some truths refuse to stay hidden.

Some wounds never fully heal.

And some journeys aren't about changing the past-but learning how to carry it.

Told with quiet power and emotional depth, The Long Road Home is a moving Southern novel about forgiveness, memory, and the moments that define who we become.
