The Long Way Home
Helen Drummond is sixty-eight years old and has been in love with the same woman for forty-six years.
The problem? Vera Castellano married someone else when they were twenty-four. Spent forty years in Pennsylvania with a husband and daughter. Built a life that didn't include Helen-except in the quiet moments Vera doesn't talk about, the letters she wrote but never sent, the part of herself she locked away to survive.
When Vera returns to their small hometown to settle her mother's estate, Helen is forced to confront everything she's buried: the heartbreak that never quite healed, the routine she built to keep from feeling too much, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-finally-they could have what they were denied decades ago.
But loving someone at sixty-eight is different from loving them at twenty-four. The stakes are higher. The time is shorter. And Vera's daughter Lillian has questions about why her mother seems happier in this small town than she ever was in her forty-year marriage.
THE LONG WAY HOME is a sapphic romance about second chances, chosen family, and learning that it's never too late to choose happiness. It's for anyone who believes that love doesn't have an expiration date-and that sometimes the longest way home is also the one worth taking.
