An American travels to Scotland to care for her ailing stepfather in this dramatic tale of love and lies from a New York Times–bestselling author.

“ The Long Way Home is Robin Pilcher at his best. I devoured every word of this masterful storyteller.” —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

Claire Barclay has returned to the home in Scotland where she spent her teenage years, affording her the chance to spend time with her much-loved stepfather, Leo, her only living parent. But upon arrival she learns that Jonas, the old flame who broke her heart many years ago, has become Leo’s neighbor and trusted confidant. While Claire tries desperately to avoid Jonas, a more pressing matter becomes clear: Leo’s health has become jeopardized.

Claire extends her stay in Scotland in order to care for Leo, becoming more and more frustrated as his own grown children seem more concerned about preserving their financial assets than their father’s health. Soon Jonas is asking Claire to trust him again, on a matter that will profoundly affect her stepfather. Can she forget the past and put her faith in someone who once hurt her so deeply?

This masterful novel from a born storyteller offers twists and turns of plot, and of heart, that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

“Finely drawn characters, an authentic setting, dramatic conflicts, and a thread of suspense that keeps the reader guessing. Curl up in your favorite chair and prepare to be entertained!” —Karen White, award-winning author of The Memory of Water

“Pilcher weaves a wonderful story filled with love, deceit, and friendship that is reminiscent of his mother Rosamunde’s work.” —Booklist
