Jessica Scott is a soldier, mother and wife. After returning home from a deployment in
2009, she realizes that leaving her kids was not the hardest thing she’s ever
done but that coming home is.
The Long Way Home is a collection of Jessica Scott’s blog
posts about her life after coming home from the Iraq War. This novel tells the story of a mother coming
home to her young daughters and having to figure out how to be a mom
again. A story of a writing trying to
write a novel that she can sell. The
story of Jessica’s life after coming home.
This novel gave me an inside look at a lifestyle many have
not had first hand experience with.
Although most of the military terms were foreign to me, I was very
capable of understand and enjoying the blog posts Jessica wrote. I found myself learning a lot about military
life, both professional and personal, and wanting to know more.
There was a lot more to this story than just the military
part. I found myself tearing up and
wanting to hug my daughters when reading about all the struggles Jessica’s
daughters were having adjusting to their mom being back home with them. I also wanted to hug Jessica and give her any
and all support that I could.
I want to end my review Thanking Jessica Scott. Not only for her service but for sharing her
story and opening my eyes to the hardships that making a military choice can
bring. I will now not only thank the
military personal I know for the service but for their sacrifices also.
I highly recommend this novel.
