well written book.........
story keeps flowing and isnt so predictable either.......
i just wish DANIELLE STEEL wrote suspense....
her book are like Sidney Sheldon's books without the Suspense.........

all in all a GOOD Book....

The plot was completely unbelievable; far beyond willing suspension of disbelief. I read it as fast as I could to see what happened to get it over with. It's a shame Steel took such an important subject matter, child abuse, and created a book that is pure misery to read, not because of the subject matter, but her poor craftsmanship. Gabreilla's innocent years in the convent and the beginning of her romance with Joe were classic Steel, but the horror of the end of that romance and the subsequent plot line will make you cringe if you've read some of her best such as Jewels or Crossings.

This book is just great. I have to admit for the first 100 pages it was very depressing and I am so glad the book really took off after that.
I didn't know how much I would care for a danielle steel book since it is unlike most of the books I read. I was so plesantly suprised.
I am now reading another one of her books and have bought more to read that I just can't wait.
I am now a DS fan.

The Long Road Home was my favorite Danielle Steel book yet. I felt very connected to the main character and couldn't put the book down. Unfortunately, I am still looking for a Danielle Steel book that can live up to standards of The Long Road Home.

Normally I enjoy reading Danielle Steel books but I found this one to be way off base and I could barely stand to finish it. I found that the romance between Gabbie and the priest to be awful and the fact that he killed himself over it to be worse. The priest and Gabbie were both weak and that would not happen like that in real life I do not believe. Their whole romance was one of the worst things I have ever read. Then the ending of the book was horrible also how can she fall in love with someone whom she hardly knows and has never seen outside of a hospital talk about a violation of the doctor patient relationship! The ending of the book left a lot to be desired I would not recommend this book to anyone after reading the whole book.
