The Shortest Way Home is Juliette Fay’s best yet and shows us that loving the people in your life can be as exciting, as daring, as difficult an adventure as any.” Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author
“If you’ve ever thought you or anyone in your family might be just a bit less than perfect, read this book.” Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author
“Heartfelt…Juliette Fay does a wonderful job creating this quirky, lovable cast of characters finding their way in life and love.” Shilpi Somaya Gowda, New York Times bestselling author
“Fay once again draws readers into an absorbing world of domestic complications and heart-tugging characters…Fay deftly handles the intricacies and emotions of family life while keeping the pace brisk. She also incorporates characters from her previous novel, Shelter Me, and these glimpses into their future are a joy.
