The long way home by Mariah Stewart will always be special for me. It's the sixth book in the Chesapeake series. But I started with this and though there is a connection between all the books, you don't necessarily have to read it in the right order to understand the story. It can be read as a stand alone novel. It continues the story of the quaint town of St. Dennis, Maryland and it's residents.This was my first time in this series reading Mariah 's books, but I easily caught up with the back story of the previous novels and quickly fell in love with the pleasant characters and the interesting stories that were and are featured. This is a fast-moving tale that holds your attention from the first to the very last sentence. I was instantly in awe with this novel.
The Long Way Home focuses on Ellie Ryder, who, unknown to her, has a personal history that is connected to an old home she left in the coastal town of St. Dennis. Ellie finds herself rebuilding her life after dealing with the mortification of her father and fiancé's very public embezzlement schemes that destroyed countless people, including herself, and it starts in the small Maryland town of St. Dennis, where she is set to restore and then sell her grandmother's home. She notices a few surprises and long-held secrets along the way as she does so, and discovers that sometimes the best in life comes out of the worst scenario.
This book is highly recommend for contemporary romance fans.
