She has long since reconciled herself to the shattered dream of what had once enticed her from her heritage--a tiny apartment thick with loneliness and regret, the sad lives of her two sons, and her sole consolation: the friendship with daughter-in-law Ruth. But when hard living claims both of Naomi's boys, she and Ruth turn Naomi's creaky Impala eastward in a desperate last-chance bid for hope and meaning. Thus begins an adventure: a cross-country odyssey that brings Naomi home to her old farm in Lancaster County--and to the values and rhythms of a life once spurned. Although never having seen the East before, Ruth finds a home here too, among the slow and authentic cadences of Pennsylvania farm country. Can two women from different backgrounds and generations, overwhelmed with life and loss, find healing for wounds once thought too deep to heal? Does life offer any real second choices and chances? Can modern paths, after leaving all that was good and true, ever truly lead home? 1703426 1 9 2007 The Road Home total:64|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:0|1:1| 64 230 110 24 4 0 false false Thu Feb 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 11:50:22 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 15:19:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 13 14:03:10 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 14:15:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 14 15:01:49 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 15:08:53 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 05 11:34:55 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 20:55:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Dec 04 09:59:49 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 10:01:31 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 06:06:54 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 06:08:27 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Thu Nov 12 18:39:08 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 18:39:55 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 18:15:33 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 18:09:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 17 15:35:24 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 15:36:38 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Fri Jan 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Apr 16 11:16:21 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 11:18:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 27 13:46:36 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 17:16:56 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 08:10:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 08:15:47 -0700 2008
