It is not bad but just not my cup of tea. As others have noted, the elderly LaVerne carried around a baggie of her family's prescription and OTC medications and cheerfully doled out uppers, downers and pain medications to members of the trip. Maybe you could say that it is about a trip through the lives of four women who seem unremarkable in the beginning but during the trip each emerges more I interesting, more complete, and more interested in the world around them.

McQuestion's novel, The Long Way Home, was cited as hlme one of Amazon Publishing's greatest successes, having sold more thancopies as of November Each is biding time, waiting for something better, something to transport them out of what their lives have recently become.
I wonder if there are truly people as optimisti This was an interesting book, and it was beyond what I expected, which is why I give it 4 stars.
The young psychic Jazzy takes charge of the group, and they all follow her like sheep. Over the years, she found herself falling out of love with him, but she never considered breaking up and moving mcqhestion, not even once.
What happened next was astounding. And then, just when she thought things couldn't get any better, she got and accepted!
I received this book from the author mcquestkon a Goodreads giveawy and I am so glad I entered it!
Marnie reveals that she fell out of love with him a long time ago. The widow Marnie, who is actually mourning the loss of her stepson, not her ex-boyfriend, cannot distinguish between a 14 year old who kardn been abandoned in the middle of nowhere by his custodial parent and an 18 year old sociopath.
Rita falls for the chance to nome a woman stay in touch with a child not lost yet.
But since I'm a believer, I thought the book was a lot of fun, and I got a kick out of it. I discovered this book through an Amazon Kindle recommendation. It gives each ones story, going back and forth, and I really enjoyed it.
Mrs. Mommy Booknerd's Book Reviews: Review: The Long Way Home by Karen McQuestion
It's an impulsive trip and could have made an interesting story. I am sorry I listened to the whole thing I liked the narrative style, moving back and forth between characters but still making them as well-rounded as possible. By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. For Wisconsinites Marnie, Laverne and Rita, life isn't working out so well. Retrieved 4 November I look forward to reading other works by this author.
On the way aspects of their lives come out which influence their trip and how they feel about things. New realities unfold for each one and as a group. What a delightful ending! He sounded like a jerk. Marnie raised this boy for ten years as a live-in step mother.
By the third time a scene resolved itself by a stranger coming along at just the right time, I knew I had to just roll with it and stop thinking this story could have really happened.

Last week I purchased a month of Kindle Unlimited and this book was one of free books so I thought Yah! The description made it sound like a long road trip with lots of adventure.
I find it believable that they would homd and and want to help and support each other.
I highly recommend it and rate is 4. It isn't a book with any literary magnificence, or grand prose or anything like that.
Don't get me wrong, I liked reading it and I was interested in following all the different plot lines to the end, but it definitely required a suspension of disbelief. Sep 05, Karen L rated it liked it. I set it aside again. Laverne is Marnie's reclusive landlady, and she has never been out of Wisconsin.
