I was so anxious to devour another Liz Johnson Prince Edward Island novel—verdant, lush home of the delightful Anne of Green Gables—with all of its small hometown feels...replete with antique, pottery, and bakery shops oozing with delicious treats, that I overlooked a very important detail in the book description!
The hero, Eli Ross, played for the NHL as in National Hockey League. Way out of my comfort zone...my motto always being "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out." Definitely not a hockey fan, but Liz Johnson made it work and I found myself totally immersed in this electrifying sport!
It started out a little slow for me and I found it difficult to connect with the heroine, Violet, as she was angry with Eli for something that was frankly none of her business. It wasn't long, however, before I began to enjoy their humorous quips, banter, and obvious chemistry...my eyes literally filling with tears as I learned of Violet's heartbreaking secret from the past. 😢
A poignant story of forgiveness, sacrifices, and broken lives finding redemption and healing—be sure to put 'The Last Way Home' at the top of your wishlist!
"All you have to do is ask Him for help. Admit that you can’t do it on your own. When you do that, well, God moves in and starts smoothing out all those shattered and broken pieces. He’s just waiting for you to ask Him to fix them. Could it really be that easy?" (Quote from The Last Way Home)
