In The Long Road Home, Carl and Olivia share how disbelief, betrayal, and decades of pain gave way to restoration and a renewed marriage centered on Jesus. Their story offers a clear and hopeful message: when the church listens, learns, and walks with survivors, it can become the refuge God intended.
Their journey reflects both the couple's journey to Christianity and their path back to one another. It speaks to the slow, costly work of rebuilding trust, rediscovering grace, and learning how Christ meets couples in the deepest places of pain.
Praise for The Long Road Home
"When believers in the church share their real life stories, it helps others come forth with their struggles. This sharing brings healing for those who open up and healing for those who hear."
-Pastor Kenneth Lock, Jr., Evolve Church"Carl and Olivia suggested starting a ministry for sexual assault victims, I proposed that it should be more than just a typical ministry. Their powerful testimony deserved to be shared in a book or something even more impactful, like a movie."
-Pastor Emile Banks, Christian Faith Fellowship Church
