<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Lands' ability to explore their humanity as his characters navigate the unfamiliar makes these stories shimmer. Beautifully rendered sentence after sentence, <em>The Long Way Home </em>is the work of an expert in his fields. --Susan Perabo</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In riveresque prose, Ron Lands carries us with fearless grace over the eddies and jutting rocks of lives in small-town Tennessee. We are in our very own homes in these stories, but in the metaphorical attics and basements-places that lights are too often kept turned off. <em>The Long Way Home</em> surely offers a sense of place, but more than that, invites us to reconsider how we navigate what's found there: the breathing of lives lived, lives lost, our own mirrors of life and death. I salute the hard craft of these stories, the earned victory-the further you delve into them, the more they become your own. </p><p> -Timothy Dodd</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Ron Lands writes beautiful stories about the messiness of sickness, death, loss, confusion, and compassion. In his work, his two worlds of doctor and writer seamlessly overlap. Most of the men and women who populate these stories are facing the end-either their own, or someone else's- and the medical, practical, emotional, and spiritual complexities that develop in the final hours and days intertwine to create moving and memorable conflicts between, and within, the characters.</p><p>These stories take place in the homes, doctor's offices, and hospital rooms of a small Tennessee town, where doctors intimately know their patients, and patients exist in a generational no-mans' land between house calls and contemporary medicine. Lands' ability to explore their humanity as his characters navigate the unfamiliar makes these stories shimmer. Beautifully rendered sentence after sentence, <em>The Long Way Home </em>is the work of an expert in his fields. --Susan P erabo</p><br>
