The Long Road Home

De: Mary Alice Monroe

Narrado por: Sandra Burr

Her husband’s suicide left Nora MacKenzie alone, and his shady Wall Street dealings left the Manhattan socialite penniless. By a miracle, she’s held on to their mountainside farm - and she’ll keep holding on, no matter what. The property is Nora’s one chance to wring some dignity out of the sham she’s been living.

The Vermont locals think she’s a city girl on a nature kick, but she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. Nora’s serious about learning the farming business...if she can figure out where to begin. Against the locals’ skepticism, she has only one ally: Charles “C.W.” Walker.

C.W. is hardworking, gentle with the animals and a patient teacher of the hundreds of chores Nora needs to learn. Slowly she starts to believe she’ll survive in her new life, even flourish. She might even be willing to open her heart again. But she won’t return to a life of lies...and the truth about C.W. may be more than Nora’s fragile heart can bear.

Loved it

This was my first Mary Alice Monroe book and i absolutely loved it - will definitely buy more of her books. The narrator was really good and the story was captivating. I would recommend it.

M. A. Monroe fan

Took a bit to get used to the voice but, once I did, I enjoyed the story.

insipid narrator

Don't know if it was the character or the narrator that was so whiny! Annoying

Entertaining romance

This is an entertaining romance. Not as good as her later books, but a fun listen.

Storyline was interesting and kept me listening.

Didn’t like Nora’s simpering voice. I wanted to believe she was an intelligent woman from New York, but the voice made her sound like an idiot.
