The Journey Home

by Jill Ann Harper

Set in Kent in July 2014, this is the story of Julia, a 40-year old personal assistant who takes two weeks out of her busy career schedule to spend some time at home, trying to make sense of her life and the crazy world around her. We are taken through Julia’s deepest and darkest thoughts and deeds as she travels along her journey to find out her purpose in life. Through facing up to her past failures, she is able to let go of negative emotions and embark upon a path towards freedom, forgiveness and peace.
It’s a story of great friendship, love and resolution. Although the world is very much an alien place, there are kindred spirits who help Julia along her way – critically, Jim, Julia’s husband; and Marg, an unknown work colleague who becomes one of Julia’s best friends.
Julia concludes that the world is abnormal but it has to be in order to provide the training ground for developing character, practising patience and finding peace, happiness and love. Julia discovers she is alive! Ultimately this is a story about letting go of anger and travelling a road towards freedom and happiness in an affirmation of one’s life.

Took me so long to read it, because I didn’t really like this book. It was so belong and long with long descriptions and had a lack of a plot.
