The Long Way Around

When Andie and Craig, Jennifer and Robert set off on a long-dreamed-of road trip, they're chasing open highways, endless horizons, and a break from everyday life. What they don't expect is how quickly the kilometres will begin to expose the quiet doubts and unspoken truths they've carried for years.

From lush tropics to the wide, unforgiving beauty of the desert, the journey becomes more than just a holiday. Late-night laughter gives way to honest conversations. Old certainties begin to shift. And as the road stretches on, both marriages are tested in ways no one saw coming.

For Andie, the distance brings unexpected clarity. For Jennifer, it forces her to confront the cracks she's worked so hard to hide. With friendship as both anchor and mirror, the women must face a question that can no longer be avoided:

Is love strong enough to survive the journey-or is the long way around the only path back to themselves?

The Long Way Around is a warm, emotionally rich novel about friendship, marriage, and the courage it takes to choose change. Perfect for fans of character-driven women's fiction, book-club reads, and stories where the journey matters just as much as the destination.
