Jena just lost her husband, her very best friend, to brain cancer. Now she has packed up her 2 young sons and is moving them back home. Back home to where their family and friends are; to give them a chance to grow up somewhere safe and surrounded by those that love them. Before they get there it's going to take 3 days and 3nights to make the trip. And it's on that long ride home that Jena will have to come to terms with the death of her husband and say goodbye to him. Jena will have to face the fear of returning home to an unknown future for her and her boys. Fortunately she has her husband's ghost to keep her company and help her through the trip. Unfortunately there are some things she must face head on by herself...like the guilt of actually wanting to return home.I have never had a short story affect me the way that this one has. Hunter, have I told you lately I love your writing...your way of bringing emotions to life? Just a few pages in and there were tears. Tears I tell you!! Just a few pages in and I already want more. Just a few pages in and I already love Jena. And what is up with that ending? To think that I had the whole paranormal part figured out with her being able to see her husband's ghost. Yeah, I was way off. I need more of this story...more of Hunter's story telling...just more!Long Ride Home is a quick read that gives us a little intro in Hunter's new paranormal series that will be coming out next spring. In this quick read you will get acquainted with Jena as she is given a rare opportunity to say good bye to her husband...even though he has already passed. Long Ride Home whet's your appetite for what is bound to be another fabulous story by Elizabeth Hunter.
