Born in an ambulance fleeing the disease and chaos of Tokyo following World War II, Nelle enters the world like a wild man riding bareback. As the daughter of a commissioned officer in the US Army and a courageous mother who is one of the first wives to join American soldiers in occupied Japan, Nelles young life is dictated by military orders that transport her family from Japan to Alaska to Texas and Louisiana. But it is not long before Nelle begins wearing the scars gained from an anchorless existence that erodes her foundation of stability and parental protection. As her mother self-medicates her internal demons with alcohol and her father battles mental illness, Nelle emerges as a child who absorbs the strength and fortitude of parents now lost and wounded by war. She is nourished by a miraculous meeting of horses that impart the power to guide her through loss, humiliation, betrayal, and abandonment and embarks on a unique coming-of-age journey, in which she encounters people who recognize her abilities and set her life on a winning path. In this compelling novel, a girls discovery of an ancient vessel and of a passion for the natural world restores order to her chaotic life and propels her to the ultimate redemption through the power of love.

The Road to Home

By: Ellen Gibson-Adler

In her final book of her trilogy series, Ellen Gibson-Adler gives us a moving and unforgettable story that portrays the transformative journey of a military family ultimately forced to put down roots. The reconciliation and reckoning of the characters we have grown to love in the saga adventures o the Lyons family is buoyed by their humor, wit, and a determination to rise above the odds that stand in the way of these eccentric, talented, damaged, and lovable people. Nelle swallows rejection and blooms in love, while her parents struggle to remake themselves after the realities of war and isolation shred their former selves. Cast as perpetual outsiders on an anchorless vessel, they fight to find footing on unfamiliar ground amid strangers. The love of a grandfather and the friendships that slowly evolve, deliver safety and salvation from a tumultuous past with abiding hope for promising expectations. As Nelle and her family grapple with charting a future steeped in the turbulence of growing up and growing old, we embrace the successes and failures of these all too human characters. Through the lens of loss, the light of laughter, and the revelation of wisdom, and the peace of acceptance, comes a beautiful story of how forgiveness leads to the road to redemption and the power of love, no matter the age or station in life. Above all trials and beyond all obstacles, follow the Lyons to the pride of home in the final book of the family saga trilogy. If you are a fan of Jeannette Walls, Anne Tyler, or Tara Westover, this is your next great read.
