The Last Way Home

 

How difficult is it to come home after leaving without saying goodbye?  Eli Ross left, joining the NHL on his way to fame. But when the tides turn and he loses everything (even the shirt on his back) will he be welcomed home?

Liz Johnson has crafted a story that takes you back to PEI. Where love, mercy and forgiveness is at the heart of this story. Eli has gotten himself in a big mess. Being kicked out of the NHL, he has no where to turn. After being gone for 10 years, he shows up in Victoria where he grew up and his family still lives. Hoping to make amends, he finds Violet Donaghy has been adopted into his family, and she does not like him. Not one bit. But as time moves on, and their secrets are revealed, Eli works at doing the right thing. 

Liz Johnson takes her characters to the heart, and brings them to a place of letting go. I loved how Eli and Violet conquer their anger, fear and reserve to come to need God more than others. This is a sweet story of family bonding and coming together. Helping one another in need.
