Plot Summary of The Long Road Home
"Not one of the best by Danielle Steel, this one is
readable, though. Readers who enjoyed Malice will enjoy
this one for sure. Danielle Steel, who keeps writing
the same plot every new book, has done a good work with
that one. But do not expect many great things."
Marco Aurelio, Resident Scholar
