In a nutshell, I felt this book lacked in the depth of The Proving, the first Beverly Lewis novel I read. As both are standalone novels, I'm disappointed The Road Home would have been better suited as a novella, cut by at least one half. The pacing is slow, and so much of what I read felt like a waste, as if the story was purposely dragged out. Harley's POV was pointless, considering its content, though removing it wouldn't even cut the book down by a third.
3/5 stars because the writing is good. I think it'd be better for older women who have children and want slow-paced, mediocre drama to read for a short time.
