She has secrets...
...So does he
Will the two of them work out the past and find a future together?

Schoolteacher-to-be Emily Stanton has played many roles in the past. She can play this one long enough for it to come true. But when stolen money shows up in her bag, the past she has desperately tried to hide from has come back to haunt her… And jeopardize her new life.

Stagecoach driver Josh Benson has his own painful past. And a present that seems to have its fill of trouble as well. Much of which seems to be following the pretty schoolteacher. But she might be one person who can understand what he’s been through. How much of his past he is willing to tell her?

As their pasts come toward a present reckoning, can they trust each other enough to heal their wounds? Will confronting the past lead to a better future… or destruction?

Set in a frontier town at the end of the Oregon Trail in 1881, The Road Home is book 2 in The Route Home series. If you like Christian historical romance with a touch of suspense, you’ll love this journey of trust and love. Start the adventure today. Buy The Road Home now.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Ordinary people. Extraordinary circumstances. Extra-ordinary God. The first two sentences don’t necessarily have good outcomes without the third.

    Some days life is just hard. The kids are screaming. The house is a mess. Your boss wants a report yesterday. The fridge is empty. The sink is overflowing. You forgot to pay a bill. Your Facebook feed is full of other people’s vacation photos, gourmet meals, and cute shoes.

    It’s overwhelming.

    And when we’re overwhelmed, maybe we don’t always respond to life with serenity and grace.

    It’s time to take a break. Pick up a book and join someone else’s world for a while. Books last longer than a fancy coffee drink and can take you to anywhere in the world and to any time period.

    Most of us are ordinary people. We won’t be mentioned in history books. Documentary films won’t be made about our lives. A film crew won’t follow us through out our days. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t extraordinary.

    Each of us has a unique purpose and reason for being on this planet, whether we know it or not, whether we can see it or not over the mounds of bills, dirty laundry, piles of dishes.

    But sometimes we need someone to show us the way. Heroes and heroines who live life a bit bigger than we do, though not necessarily by their choice.

    So take a break for a moment. Grab a few quiet moments and your favorite drink and read about women and men as ordinary as you. Who may or may not recognize that they are in some extraordinary circumstances.

    And see what happens.

    As for me, my favorite thing is discovering how much there is to love about America the Beautiful and the great outdoors. I’m an Amazon bestselling author, a mom to two navigating the young adult years while battling my daughter’s juvenile arthritis, exploring the delights of my son’s autism, and keeping gluten free. A California native who’s spent significant time in the Midwest, I’m thrilled to be back in the Golden State. Follow me on social media to see all my adventures and how I get inspired for my books!

    I look forward to hearing from you! Please be in touch. You can find me on my website at www.JLCrosswhite.com

In this second book in The Route Home series, Josh is drawn to Emily when she returns to Reedsville and hopefully her previous teaching job. Both Josh and Emily went through a difficult past that affects their ability to trust others. Emily lives in fear when she discovers a bag of stolen money among her belongings. How can she ever be considered respectable now? Through helping each other, the love and support of friends, and their faith-filled encouragement they can find happiness.

I loved this book! This book has just enough romance and mystery to keep you on the edge of your seat and laughing and crying along with the ups and downs of the characters! I actually loved the whole series and felt sad when I finished the last book because I loved the characters and knew I'd miss them!

5.0 out of 5 stars great add to the series!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018
The Road Home, written by Jennifer Vander Klipp, is book two of The Route Home.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I had read book one and enjoyed it, but Vander Klipp just keeps getting better! This is a series you'll surely enjoy.
I think my favorite character was Josh. A true gentleman and caring guy.
I kind of felt bad for Emily. She has had a rough life and gone through some rough times and finally got to the point where she put her faith in the Lord and then things still happen. Very life-like.
I think The Road Home was a great mix of romance, suspense, and inspiration in a historical setting.
I look forward to who the next book will be about and what exciting turns it'll have within its pages.
I was gifted an ARC from the publisher. All thoughts and comments are my own.

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018
The Road Home is book 2 in the Route Home series. I loved this book kept me flipping pages to see who done it. Emily has lived a bad life and decides to leave to make a change in her life. But when she gets there she finds a lot of money in her bag. How did that get there? no one would ever believe her. This doesn't look good for her job as the school teacher. What is she going to do there is no one she can talk to about it? Josh Benson who helps her leave town. BUt how much can he get involved without letting her in on his pass? Can they come together with trust to bring each other through? Well written story!! Loved the characters.
