The Long Road Home by Mary Alice Monroe

This is the first book I have read by Monroe that does not take place in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.  This takes place mostly in Vermont.   A widow, Nora, is trying to comes to terms with the mess that her husband left her with.  She goes to Vermont in hopes of making a sheep farm work.  She has a lot to learn and there is an unexpected guest that is more than she bargained for.  This is a story full of wonderful characters, heartache, redemption, revenge, and love.  Monroe is an author that can make characters become a part of your life and she did it again with this book.
